Five Generations in the North
24m
Some fishing trips are new adventures — and some are part of a legacy. In this special episode, three generations take a fly-in trip that traces its roots all the way back to the 1950s, when the Theriault family first began flying anglers into the untouched wilderness of Northern Ontario. Over the years, that tradition has grown to span five generations of memories, mentorship, and shared adventure. From the moment the floatplane lifts off, the sense of history is unmistakable. The family settles into camp quickly, and the fishing fires up just as fast. They reel in a steady mix of walleye, northern pike, and smallmouth bass, but the true highlight comes when one angler hooks into a huge lake trout that becomes an instant story for the next generation. Back at camp, fresh-caught fish hits the pan, incredible meals are shared at the old wooden tables, and stories from decades past blend with the new memories being made. This episode is a tribute to Northern Ontario heritage, to family bonds strengthened in the wilderness, and to the long tradition of flying with the Theriaults — a history that continues to grow with every cast.
