Canada Fly In Camping Tips
When you camp on Canada’s Crown Land you have to pay a daily
fee. When you go through an outfitter it may be pre-paid and
it may not. Make sure you know what the rules and fees are,
follow the rules and pay the fee’s. |

with electricity, showers and barbecue grills. You will
likely be dropped off and expected to totally fend for
yourself. No grocery stores to restock up on food if you eat
too much or don’t catch fish for some reason.
There are some tips I would like to offer for those courageous folks who want to enjoy a Canada fly in camping trip. One of the first things that comes to mind when thinking about my past fly in camping trips is getting wet. Nothing ruins a camping trip like getting wet. Trying to dry your sleeping bag over a fire is a real bummer and climbing into a smokey sleeping bag stinks. Build a tent shelter and a mess area shelter and cover it with plastic bisquine sheeting. Bring a roll with you. We made our shelters with small trees and usually found plenty of spare framing material from campers that were there throughout the prior years. Sometimes you luck out and somebody already has a shelter built for you. If you arrive in early spring for the walleye opener don’t expect to get this lucky. The winter snow surely collapsed any makeshift structures. You might ask your outfitter if there is some kind of shelter at the camp site already. Seam your bisquine sheeting at the top of the structure by rolling 2 pieces of sheeting up and stapling across the top brace with a staple gun. Making a door isn’t usually very difficult either. Just frame in a piece of "lumber" vertically next to a corner and space it as big as you want your door to be. Then build a door that fits inside the frame and cover it with plastic sheeting. Let a little sheeting hang over one vertical side of the door and staple it to the vertical frame support on the structure frame. This makes for a handy hinge. You can also make a shower area like this and cover it with black or colored sheeting for privacy purposes. Make sure you go over your lists and bring everything you need. There won't be a cabin full of the essential items like silverware and plates. Forgetting items like this can make your camping trip miserable. I remember one time when we had to carve our silverware out of wood because we all forgot to bring some. Good thing we didn't all forget to bring our jack knives. |

Some
outfitters will fly in a canoe for you and sometimes you can
rent a boat at a camping site. Fly in camping trips are more
easily tailor made. Sometimes you may be in a situation
where part of your party will fly in a certain amount of
goods and the rest of the party will boat their way to the
camp site. These types of campsites aren't as remote as
campsites that can only be practically accessed by air.
Camping in northern Canada brings back lots of great memories. If you like to "rough it" and are an experienced camper you will probably love a fly in camping trip into northern Canada. The fishing will astound you. The waters are incredibly fertile because the lakes are constantly being fed by the countless rivers and streams flowing into them from the arctic watershed. It's like stepping back in time. When you take in the scenery and solitude all the stress from the world back home seem to lift away. Catching hundreds of walleye and pike put the icing on the cake. |
