Reservation Requests
You may request a specific flight time and we will do our best to accommodate it. Flights times are tentatively scheduled in order of when we receive a groups deposit. The earlier a deposit is received means an earlier flight time into an outpost camp. We will email your flight itinerary approximately 1-2 weeks prior to your trip. We invite you to stay at our lodge the evening prior to your flight. Our Lodge is very busy, make a room reservation when booking your Fly-In trip.
Flight Times
Watson Skyways is providing air transportation to the Outpost Camps. They will provide us with a scheduled flight time for your group. Please plan to be at the Watson's airbase located on Wawa Lake in the town of Wawa 1 hour prior to your flight time to weigh in your gear.
Accommodations The Night Before Flying In
We invite you to stay with us at our Drive-In Lodge the night before flying in. Please make sure to request a room when booking your trip.
How To Pack For A Fly-In Fishing Trip
To save weight, beer or pop must be in cans only, no glass bottles. Exceptions for liquor & wine.
Boil lake water instead of flying in bottled water or use a water purifier.
Our propane-powered refrigerators are good, but not perfect. Bring a cooler with ice or freeze water bottles to preserve perishables. Freeze meat products and put them in a separate cooler packed with ice.
Use two medium coolers instead of one large cooler due to limited cargo space in the aircraft.
To transport groceries, use small to medium cardboard boxes.
Use medium size duffel bags to pack your clothing and personal items. Do not use large suit cases or hockey bags.
Minnow buckets are provided at the outpost camps.
Remove all fishing hooks from rods before transporting. Rod cases are recommended.
Make sure your medications fly in with you on the same trip. Your extra baggage flight, if necessary, may not arrive quickly enough.
Please make sure your coolers and bins do not weigh over 50 pounds. Please help us keep our staff and guests safe.
Life Jackets
You must bring a wearable life jacket that legally satisfies the law in your home state. Floater cushions are no longer legal.
Cleaning & Maintaining The Camp
Before leaving the outpost camp:
Your group is responsible for a clean well maintained camp.
The fridge, freezer, stove, oven & shower (soap scum) must be wiped completely clean.
The floor must be mopped before leaving.
When the airplane arrives to pick you up at an outpost camp and there is no one staying at the camp after you:
Ensure boats are pulled up on shore and tied so they do not float away.
You must pull out the boat plugs and leave them in the back of the boat. This allows rain water to drain out.
Are Bears A Problem
Not really, bears are everywhere through the North Country. We ask all of our guests to dump their fish guts on the opposite lakeshore (or island) for the sea birds. Close windows and doors before leaving the cabin. No garbage…no bears. Please use heavy duty garbage bags so they do not break in the aircraft. Use a separate bag to recycle cans. Before leaving the outpost camp you must burn all flammable garbage so it does not have to be flown out or left for the next group to deal with.
Emergency At The Outpost Camp
We provide Garmin InReach Satellite units (unlimited texting). For your safety and convenience.
Damage Policy
You are responsible for any damages to the camp or equipment. Your credit card will be charged for the flight bills and for our time to clean or maintain the camp as well as for any damages you cause. Fuel is provided for outboard motors only and is not to be used for camp fires.
