HELPFULL HINTS

SUGGESTIONS TO HELP PLAN A SUCCESSFUL TRIP

When planning your food list, sit down with your group and organize each meal, people usually bring too much food. It is advisable to bring some emergency food, canned or dried in case you don't eat as much fish as you had planned or you are delayed by weather for a day. This seldom happens but its good to be prepared.

Freeze bottled water to put in small coolers (less than 40 quarts). This will keep your food cool until you get to the camp. Lake water at our camps can be used for drinking if boiled, pack your food supplies in medium size boxes with lids and your personal gear in small duffle bags. Reels should be removed from rods and rods should be put in small holders or taped together to avoid damage. Dip nets should be placed in plastic bags and wrapped to avoid getting caught up on other gear.

As all trash will be flown out of the bush with you, make sure you have lots of heavy plastic bags. Avoid large plywood boxes or double door coolers as they are difficult to load onboard the aircraft. Our guests are allowed 100 lbs. per person, should you exceed that, your overload will be flown in later that same day, weather permitting. Make sure the gear you require immediately is on board the aircraft, fishing gear etc.

All flights are scheduled. Approximately 30 days in advance of your trip, you will receive an information package that will include your fight time. There is also information about motels in our area, bait suppliers and a map of how to get to our base.
