What NOT to bring:
This is a partial list only of some of the things we see tourist fishermen bring
that is both unnecessary, and in some cases will be not be allowed on the
aircraft.
We bring this to your attention to assist you in keeping your weight within
acceptable limits of 75# per person and in planning a perfect fly-in experience.
- Do NOT make yourself overweight by bringing great big, heavy tackle
boxes! Remember, all
you are fishing for is ‘Walleyes’ and ‘Northern Pike’, so weed out all the other
unnecessary
tackle and gear.
- Huge coolers, that require 2 men to lift! These are awkward to load, and are
hard on the pilots
and aircraft. Just bring the normal size coolers.
- Bottled beer and pop. Not allowed in the bush, so bring only canned products.
REMEMBER- 24 bottles of beer/pop is 15 pounds heavier than cans, so this will
also help to
keep your weight down.
- Boat anchors - we supply them.
- Landing nets – we supply them
WEIGHT ALLOWANCES:
3 and 4 day trips…….. 75# per person
5 to 7 day trips……... 100# per person
Excess weight and unusually large and or heavy items may be flown in at regular
charter rates when an aircraft is available.
**For your safety, these weights must and will be strictly adhered to, not only
for
your individual safety, but also to comply with government regulations.
