| Reservations |
|
Due to the great demand for our trips, early reservations are advisable so you can get your specific dates set. A $200 U.S. per person deposit is required. Fishermen that book one year in advance must have their deposit in by January 1st of the new year to hold their dates. If for some unforeseen reason someone in the party cannot go on the trip, their deposit is transferable to the rest of the party.
If the whole party has to cancel their trip, we will not refund the deposits.

| Helpful Tips |
| You are allowed to bring from the U.S. into Canada no more than five cases of beer or two 40-ounce bottles of liquor. The first case of beer or bottle of liquor is duty free. After your first case/bottle, you will be charged a duty of approximately $7 per case/bottle. Each person is allowed this. Beer and liquor are expensive in Canada. Beer is about $35 per case and a 40-ounce bottle of liquor is more than $30.
For the fishermen who do not like to wash dishes, we suggest that you bring paper plates, cups and bowls as well as plastic spoons, forks, and knives with your party.
We suggest you bring your own ingredients for your fish batter if you have a special recipe.
Other foods to bring if you want them are: Lemon, tartar sauce, mayonnaise,cookies, candy bars, chips, popcorn, sour cream, cold cereal, cornmeal, etc.

| Outpost Menu |
| The menu our guests traditionally enjoy includes the above mentioned staples combined with the following fresh foods: bacon, eggs, fresh milk, and canned goods including mushrooms, corn, peas, and beans. Depending on the length of your stay, meats will be packed in the following order: steaks, pork chops, lean ground beef, chicken, and sausages.
Food is pre-packed and brought to the camp with you. The food is not considered part of your total baggage weight allowance of 80 pounds per person. We overpack by approximately 20 percent to assure more than enough groceries. We ask that you eat all that you like, but leave any food you do not eat at the camp. You are responsible for bringing any “junk food” (potato chips, candy bars, soda pop), bottled water, or beer you require. |
