What to Bring Some of the first questions asked by anyone that are considering a Canadian trip are as follows. What should I bring? What kind of fishing tackle? What about clearing Canadian Customs? In response to these questions we have put together a quick list covering the important issues, click on the links below.

with you every day regardless on how good the day may look. • We
remind our guests to have it when they arrive, it’s amazing
how many don’t take us serious until the rain starts. Fishing Equipment See our Tackle page Fishing Rods - We advise fishermen to bring along the rod and reels they feel comfortable with using. Casting & spinning are the most popular. Medium to light action rods are advised, they allow the best action and good hook setting ability. Ultra light is used but hook sets are more difficult but offer tons of action once the fish is hooked. Reels - Regardless of the manufacturer or type of reel, always ensure that the reel has a good drag system that allow smooth release of the line throughout the range of the reels drag setting & allows for easy setting of the drag. If the reel has jerky or erratic release points or is difficult to set, consider the purchase of a new reel. The drag is the most important part. Our guests land big fish with light equipment but it always comes down to proper drag setting while fighting the fish. Line & line test - 6# to 10# test seem to be the most popular, 8# is a good choice. For casting with larger lures some guests have a second rod equipped with 14# to 17# line. Once again, the drag setting is important, set the reel for the line test, the line must release before it reaches its breaking point. When BIG fish are hooked, set the drag back to allow for the strong immediate force these fish place on your line when they run and dive. Fishing Lures - This could be a long list. We advise our guests to bring along the tackle they have and wait until they arrive to find out what the fish are hitting at the time. At the lodge we have a very good selection of the popular lures. You can spend countless $$$ on lures, trying to anticipate what the fish are hitting, only to have most of them remain in the tackle box unused. Various jig and bait rigs tipped with a minnow remain a very inexpensive, popular, and effective lure for our type of fishing. Spoons, spinner baits, and crank baits are also used, but that list is endless. Common Metric Conversion Tables Canada uses the Metric System. Visitors will find weather reports given in degrees Celsius, gasoline sold by the liters (milk and wine by milliliter, and liters), grocery items in grams and kilograms and clothing sizes to centimeters.
