What to Bring - Recommended Gear
When planning a fishing trip to Northern Canada, especially an outpost camp trip, it is important to remember that good, quality equipment is vital. Good equipment can mean the difference between experiencing the trip of a lifetime or a miserable trip that leaves you wishing the float plane would pick
you up sooner rather than later. Good rain gear, proper clothing, quality reels and good planning can ensure that your week in the "bush" will be enjoyable. See our Fishing Page for detailed tackle for Pike, Walleye, Grayling and Lake Trout.
