Transcript

00:00A land of towering pines and frozen lakes, where winter grips the earth with relentless force.

00:10The terrain is as rugged as it is breathtaking, a wild beauty carved by ice and time.

00:17But hidden beneath the snow in time itself, a mystery awaits.

00:21Deep in the wilderness, colossal iron giants rest in quiet decay,

00:26left behind by the logging empires that once ruled this frozen frontier.

00:31On this episode of the Greenway Outdoors, our journey takes us off the grid.

00:35Ski-doos carry us across the ice and snow as we chase the story of these mechanical relics.

00:41But the adventure doesn't stop there.

00:43Beneath the frozen surface, native trout and landlocked salmon await, and the bite is on.

00:48Epic battles below the ice, forgotten history above it,

00:51and an adventure through one of the wildest landscapes in America.

00:56I'm Kyle Green.

01:01I travel the globe with my best friends hunting for wild game and dynamic conservation stories.

01:07Join us on our adventure as we escape the shackles of the modern world

01:10and gain a deeper understanding of where our food comes from.

01:14Welcome to the Greenway Outdoors.

01:19Maine is over 90% forest, the most heavily wooded state in the country.

01:24With brutal winters and rugged backcountry, it's built for adventure.

01:29Before we start our journey, we stop at Ride North Recreation to load up on skidoos

01:34that will be imperative for our journey ahead.

01:37The initial drive landed us squarely in a blizzard.

01:47Driving through this god-saking town

01:52Don't you ever quit trying to get out

02:00Don't you worry about me

02:06It all turns out just fine

02:11Before we disappear into the wilderness, we need to make one last stop in the final real town along the way

02:17to stock up at the local bait shop for our ice fishing adventure.

02:23One of the things I'll do when I'm fishing a new lake is go to the local bait shop

02:27because they always know the most about what's going on in the area and how to catch the fish.

02:31This is a golden shiner. Golden shiner, if I had one bait to use the rest of my life for ice fishing

02:37especially for tip-ups, it'd be the golden shiner

02:40because basically every species seems to bite it, pike, bass, in Michigan

02:44But here, I'm fishing lakes that I've never fished before

02:47What are the species that I'll probably run into?

02:49You're going to run into brook trout

02:51You're going to run into some brown trout

02:52Landlocked salmon, be your smallmouth bass

02:55Okay, that's good to know

02:56I appreciate your insight

02:57It's always best to go to the local bait shop and have a conversation with somebody

03:01You know what I mean?

03:01Yeah

03:01I appreciate it

03:02Of course

03:03After a few more hours on the road, we finally made it to Allagash Headwaters Lodge

03:07which would be base camp for the next few days

03:10My friends Jeff and Chuck were ready to fish right away

03:13so we jumped on our sleds and headed towards one of the many lakes in the area

03:17To find our way out of here

03:19Down half a mile and leave it all behind

03:26We'll go out and do something good

03:29I've got some coyote tracks here

03:43That's not exactly a good sign for fish

03:45But maybe we can bring the rifles out and try that later

03:48We've got a visitor

03:49Oh, jeez

03:49How are you?

03:50I'm good

03:51How are you guys?

03:52Good

03:52Are you DNR?

03:53My name is Alyssa

03:54I'm a park ranger in the Allagash Wilderness Waterway

03:57Awesome

03:58Are we doing anything wrong yet?

04:00You haven't done anything wrong yet

04:02But what are you looking to do?

04:03We're going to ice fish

04:04So, good thing I caught you here

04:07So you're just

04:08You're lying there's a red post here

04:10And straight across on that side there's a red post

04:13And you're not supposed to fish on this side

04:15Where we are right now

04:17Because it's spawning grounds for brook trout

04:20We can just take you down not too far

04:22And you guys can fish on that side

04:23So would you recommend like us starting shallow

04:25And then working our way out deeper

04:27Like what's the best option?

04:29So what are you looking to fish for?

04:30Brook trout or

04:31It'd be cool to get a big brook trout

04:33Okay, yep

04:33So if you go down this way

04:35Stick to the shoreline pretty much

04:37It's really only not that far down

04:39Just a few feet

04:40Really?

04:40Drill some holes

04:41People have been doing well in the shallows

04:44So by the way

04:45How long are you guys going to be out here for?

04:47Um, I'm hoping like five, six hours

04:50Okay, well if you want

04:52If you're up for some history lessons

04:54After your fishing session

04:55I've got spots I can bring you

04:57And point you in the direction of

04:58Really? Here?

04:59Right here, not far from where we are

05:01Well then yeah

05:01If you want to come over

05:03You know, just before dinner time or something

05:05Grab us, we'll go with you

05:06Sounds good to me

05:06Alright, thank you

05:07See you in a bit

05:08I have to admit

05:11Alyssa made me curious about

05:13What cool historical sites might be around this area

05:15In the meantime, we focused ourselves on drilling holes

05:18Putting down baits

05:19And setting up the shanty

05:21So we could hopefully catch some brook trout

05:23It wasn't long before Chuck yelled

05:25That he had one on

05:26Is it big?

05:28I don't know

05:29It's hard to tell

05:29It's definitely hit hard

05:31Oh, it's a big brookie

05:34Big brookie

05:35Nice

05:36Nice

05:37That's a perfect fish

05:40Good job, Chuck

05:41Thanks, brother

05:41What are you

05:42Dude, you're using a steel leader

05:45Chuck's using a steel leader

05:47So like, steel leaders you use for pike and things like that

05:51And I mean, you can use them for anything

05:53But everyone was like

05:55Oh, the brook trotter line's shy

05:56And you have to be careful

05:57You can't use real thick line

05:59And you're using a metal wire as your line

06:02And you still got this

06:03I didn't have any sinkers

06:05So it's the best I could do

06:06Perfect fish

06:07Oh yeah, measure it out

06:09Pinch the tail

06:10He is 15 inches

06:13So he's over 14

06:14Nice

06:14So that's one inch over 14

06:17You're allowed one of those per day out here

06:18That's a great fish

06:19Yeah

06:20Look at that thing

06:21That's awesome

06:21Good for you, Chuck

06:43Your adventure starts here

06:45We have been ice fishing remote lakes deep in the main woods

06:52Now we're meeting back up with park ranger Alyssa

06:55To uncover the history that is hidden beneath snow and time

06:58The first stop is a decommissioned trestle that once acted as a passage for trains to go over the lake

07:04I get the hint, this hasn't been used in a while

07:07Since 1926, so almost about 100 years

07:11And now it's really only used as an otter toilet

07:14Or the occasional links will cross it

07:16Otter toilet?

07:17Like are they peeking up on a rock and using the toilet and then hiding it?

07:22They're doing everything you would do just right on the rocks

07:24Okay

07:25Yeah

07:25One and two

07:26Yeah, so 1926 it was built

07:28The locomotives, both of them, would come on their 13-mile trip across Allagash Stream here

07:33Behind us is Chamberlain Lake

07:35And they would make their way this way to Umbazuskas Lake

07:38And that's where they would dump off all the pulpwood

07:41And it would ultimately go down towards the west branch of the Penobscot

07:45And the pulpwood would make like paper?

07:48Yep, so Great Northern Paper owned the trains

07:51And that's what they were doing

07:53So where are the trains now?

07:55So they are that way

07:57And they are going to be on the western shore of Eagle Lake

08:00And if we head towards the northeastern shore of Chamberlain

08:03You can cut through, pass the tramway, on your way to the trains

08:06They're just chilling there?

08:07Yeah, ghost trains

08:08When the Great Depression hit around 1933

08:11They had only been in operation for six years

08:13And they decided it was cheaper to leave them there

08:16And just shut the doors and walk away

08:19Why do they call them ghost trains?

08:20Because you don't think that walking in the wilderness

08:23You're going to come across the history of the logging industry

08:27Right

08:27So it's just this

08:29It's probably more like a poltergeist then

08:31Yeah, pretty close

08:33To be clear, there aren't ghosts, right?

08:35No

08:35You might hear the occasional cello in the middle of the night

08:39But yeah

08:39Here, show me real quick so we don't get lost

08:42Alyssa pointed us in the direction of the ghost trains

08:45And we headed towards their deep woods burial grounds

08:48I was excited to lay eyes on locomotives that hadn't been operational since the 1930s

08:54These relics are just sitting there as the world drastically changes around them

08:58I find myself thinking about the folks that operated these machines

09:02And what their life was like

09:03Would they be fascinated by our curiosity about these trains?

09:06Or what they think is strange for even caring

09:09I wonder if the guy

09:10The last conductor

09:12The one that parked these trains right here

09:14Knew when he was parking them

09:16That it was going to be the very last time

09:18He would be parking this

09:20Or if he thought like

09:21Yeah, I'm going to work tomorrow

09:23Everybody knows conductor goes down with the train

09:26Oh, he died here like Titanic?

09:29I climbed up here

09:31I feel as though I've acquired tetanus

09:33There's a lot of rust

09:35You look like you've acquired tetanus

09:37Thanks

09:38The next morning we hit the road again

09:42Chasing a new adventure on a different lake

09:45This time for landlocked salmon

09:47We were met with treacherous roads

09:49Frigid temperatures hovering around 5 degrees Fahrenheit

09:52And wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour

09:55On a wide open lake these conditions are brutal

09:57But the chance to catch a landlocked Atlantic salmon

10:00Makes it all worth it

10:02Today we're going to be fishing for Atlantic salmon

10:10But when I say Atlantic salmon

10:12I'm actually referring to landlocked Atlantic salmon

10:16So Atlantic salmon in the ocean

10:18Are actually endangered right now

10:20Pollution, overfishing, and dams

10:24Have actually blocked their migration paths

10:26Just a lot of things have completely wiped out the species

10:30Near the end of the 1800s

10:31And because of that

10:33There are not any fishing seasons that you can do

10:37For the migratory ones

10:39We still have a few here left in Maine

10:40But this is pretty much the last place on earth

10:43Where you're going to see those fish

10:45That said

10:46We're still able to fish for the landlocked version of them

10:49Which are just fish that were either

10:51Locked into the lake system through the dams

10:54Or they were stocked by the Department of Natural Resources here

10:56All I'm going to be using is just a basic hook with a sinker

11:00And smelt

11:01That's like their favorite fish

11:02The ride down to this lake was by far our hardest yet

11:06There were almost no tracks on any of the trails

11:09We had to take to get to this remote lake

11:11Once we were there

11:12The wind was whipping so hard

11:14That just setting up the shanty

11:15Proved to be extremely challenging

11:17But once we were inside

11:19I have never appreciated a shanty more in my life

11:22After four and a half hours

11:24We had all but lost hope of catching a salmon

11:27We didn't have one bite

11:29Jeff, the wind is howling worse than before

11:31And packing up is going to be treacherous

11:33I hate to conclude this part of our trip

11:36By not getting a fish

11:38But I just don't see what can be done

11:40At this point

11:41We're not getting any bites

11:42I just

11:42The problem is

11:44I don't think the tip-ups

11:45Will be able to even know if there is a bite

11:46Everything's getting blown in

11:48It's like a blizzard

11:49Exactly

11:50So I think we pack up

11:51Don't move

11:52What do you mean, Dash?

11:55Are you serious?

11:57Yep

11:57Shut up

11:58Are you serious?

12:03Dude

12:03Oh god

12:08He's in a new pool

12:09He's in a new pool

12:11Oh god

12:13Did he call it

12:15Splash me bro

12:15So this is an Atlantic salmon

12:17Landlocked

12:19And it looks like he's probably

12:21About 12

12:22Yeah, about 12 inches or so

12:23They have to be 14 to keep

12:25They glisten, man, don't they?

12:27They do

12:27It's crazy to think that

12:29If you could just make it to the ocean

12:30You wouldn't be allowed to catch him

12:32That's true

12:33I don't know if this was a stocked fish or not

12:35It looks like he's got one fin clipped

12:37Which leads me to believe

12:39He probably is a stocked fish

12:41I just don't know which ones they clip here

12:42But he's missing one right there

12:44So he's probably

12:45A stocked fish

12:46Meaning

12:47They raised him from a baby

12:48And then let him go

12:49For fishermen to catch

12:50But

12:51Unfortunately

12:51He hasn't lived long enough

12:53For us to be able to eat this one

12:54But

12:54At least we got to see this fish up close

12:56We actually got to look at him

12:57And

12:58I feel like our journey

12:59Was well worth it now

13:00Because that was pretty treacherous

13:01Especially in our cop

13:02You want to let him go since you got him?

13:04Okay

13:04Get bigger

13:06And tell your friends to come over here

13:29Live the Sea-Doo life

13:30We are in Maine

13:38And just arrived at a new lake

13:40With only a few hours left of daylight

13:42But we didn't need much time

13:44To start catching fish

13:45So I'm just trying

13:48In a couple different spots

13:50This is about three foot of water as well

13:52Sometimes these fish will move

13:54In like patterns around the lake

13:56So it'll be like

13:57You'll get wham, wham, wham, wham, wham

13:59Tons of hits

13:59And then nothing for a little while

14:01And then wham, wham, wham

14:02And by moving around

14:05That is awesome

14:13There you go

14:14We're in Maine right now

14:16But this is actually Michigan State Fish

14:18So I feel like they're finally cooperating for us

14:21Just out of the fact that

14:22You know

14:22We're one of theirs

14:24I'm just pumped about it

14:25This is really cool

14:26Oh I just had a hit I think

14:34Or weeds

14:34This is a

14:36It's not the most attractive name for a lure

14:38But a lot of people know this

14:39Is a Swedish pimple

14:40Or a fish zit

14:43If you're from Michigan

14:44That's not really a Michigan thing

14:45I just made that up

14:46That's a big fish

14:48That is huge

14:53Oh my gosh

14:54Look at the colors on this one

14:59Oh wow

15:01That is a gorgeous fish

15:03Yes

15:04That is awesome

15:06That is awesome

15:07That is cool

15:11Was that worth moving the holes

15:12Yeah I would say so

15:13The deeper is better

15:15And he swallowed it

15:16So we're going to be eating this one

15:18Wow

15:20What a great fish

15:21That is awesome

15:22Yes dude

15:23I think that's the most vibrant orange

15:25I've seen in one of these

15:25It's like peach colored

15:27So like as they get into breeding season

15:29Which is in a month or two

15:30They will start to get these really vibrant colors

15:34Kind of like their mating colors

15:36And become a little bit more aggressive

15:37It's the reason why on a lot of the lakes

15:39You're not allowed to fish

15:40The actual breeding grounds themselves

15:41You have to stay on that far side of the lake

15:43Like we did on the other one

15:44Because they're just so aggressive at this time

15:47But what a perfect fish

15:48Normally I like to see this spinning

15:54Might have been a light hit

15:57The line's straight up and down

16:02This fish is there

16:05Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho

16:10No siree

16:12They're like little snakes

16:17So they don't have scales

16:19Like a normal fish would

16:20Instead they've got like this slimy coating

16:22That actually is like their protective barrier

16:24And that's why when you're going to let a fish go

16:26You want to handle it the least amount possible

16:28So you don't scrape a bunch of that off

16:30Because it makes them susceptible to like infection

16:33And things like that

16:33But that's their escape

16:34That's their armor

16:36They slip away from everything

16:37So we're going to let this guy go

16:38He wasn't hooked bad at all

16:41So he'll survive

16:42Let him go on to continue to breed

17:11Hunting elevated

17:13Blokes

17:15Modern men's health

17:16I like a simple recipe

17:23Where the only thing you actually have to cook

17:25Is just roasting a little bit of corn

17:27Incorrect

17:27I had to spend an hour and a half

17:29Smoking this fish

17:31And then spend another hour and a half

17:33Flaking it and checking it for bones

17:35Put the corn in the bowl

17:36Well this is all I had to do

17:37So I got the idea for this recipe

17:40On my honeymoon, believe it or not

17:42And I had a smoked lake trout dip

17:46Or as the French call it, a rillette

17:48Okay

17:49And it is a great combination of fish

17:51You've got some Greek yogurt in there

17:53You've got some butter

17:54You put that butter in there

17:55You've got an onion element

17:56In this case we're using shallot

17:57Some tang with some mustard

18:00And then we're going to take all that

18:03Mix it with some lemon zest

18:05Which helps brighten it up a little bit

18:07Make it a little fresher

18:07And then what I thought it was missing

18:09Was corn

18:11Which it gives it a little bit of crunch

18:13You can char it

18:14Adds a little bit of extra flavor in there

18:16And we're going to take this

18:17And we're going to put it on top of sourdough bread

18:19Okay

18:20Is sourdough bread actually healthier for you?

18:22Is it just something people say?

18:23I like to tell myself that

18:25Cheers

18:41Cheers

18:43Okay

18:44Thank you

18:44That corn did exactly what I wanted it to

18:50Gave it a little bit of extra crunch

18:52That was great

18:53I would eat this all the time

18:55It would be great

18:55This trip to Maine was more than just an ice fishing adventure

19:03It was a journey deep into the wilderness

19:06Miles of frozen trail on skidoos

19:09Chasing stories older than us

19:11And when we finally stood in front of those ghost trains

19:14Half buried in the snow in time

19:16It was like touching a piece of history

19:19Most people will never get to see

19:21And yeah, we caught some fish too

19:23Hard earned, cold fingered

19:25And well worth the wait

19:26Trips like this remind you that the real reward

19:30Isn't just at the end of the line

19:32It's the effort

19:33The unknown
