What to Bring
We expect you to bring your own fishing gear, but if you can't let us know well in advance so that we can accomodate you. For Walleye most fishermen prefer light gear (ultra light 4lb test line to light 6lb test). For Northern Pike and Lake Trout, medium to heavy gear (8lb test to 20lb test) is appropriate. Even so it's not at all unusual for fishermen to bring in big fish with light gear or small fish with heavy gear.

A broad range of spoons, jigs, spinners, and tails can have great success, especially with the Walleye and Northern Pike. If you want to ask about more specific lures and styles, give us a call and we'll try to answer any such questions.

Along with your fishing gear be sure to bring along:
   Rain gear (pants and jacket)
   Sunglasses
   Hat or cap
   Sunscreen
   Insect Repellant
   Water Resistant Footwear
   Some Warm Clothing
   Some Light Clothing

Also consider:
   Cameras, film, rechargers as needed
   Toiletries & Medications
   Prefered snacks that might be unavailable here
   Cigarettes, cigars, other tobacco products
         Up to 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars, or 200 grams (7 oz) loose tobacco allowed without duties
   Wine or hard spirits
         Up to 1.5 litres of liquor or wine allowed without duties
         Don't bring beer! Our Canadian beers are excellent

Necessary Documents
As an adult travelling from the USA to Canada you must have either:
   A valid and current passport; or
   Both a certified copy of your birth certificate, and your driver's license.

Someone under 18 years of age accompanying an adult to Canada must have either:
   A valid and current passport; or

Be sure to have these on hand when you get to the airport, as most airlines will not allow you onto a flight headed to Canada without them, and many fine vacation plans have been ruined by lack of them.
