Canada Fly In Fishing Grocery Checklist

Bringing the exact amount of grocery items is nearly impossible. As long as the camp cook isn't a terrible cook most of the food will likely be eaten every meal. Fishing and camp life have a tendency to build an appetite.

If you are the camp cook this list should be helpful if you are shopping for grocery items or making a grocery checklist.

Once again you don't want to bring a bunch of extra food . Schedule structured eating times, breakfast, lunch dinner. Don't allow anybody to eat the cooks groceries. If they want to snack they should bring in their own snacks.

It sounds funny but the person who organizes the food situation will feel responsible for keeping food in camp for the entire trip.

That person will likely be the one who does the cooking and they should have a basic meal plan long before the day of departure.

They certainly aren't going to be happy if somebody decides to make something to eat while the camp cook is out fishing. If you are camp cook or leader make sure you make sure everybody understands all the rules before you set out on your adventure. If they don't like the rules then can decide what they want to do about it long before the excursion begins.

Ok Here are my suggestions for the camp cook or food organizer:

Grocery Items	Other Items
powdered drink mix coffee bread eggs / powdered eggs canned stew potted meat canned vegetables / beans bacon / sausage condiments / mustard / ketchup / tarter sauce lunch meat peanut butter / jelly flour / drakes etc. salt / pepper / spices cooking oil butter / milk or powdered milk pancake mix / syrup milk beer / wine / liquor potatoes / powdered potatoes	coffee pot can opener dish soap dry ice napkins / paper towel garbage bags freezer bags
Make sure to figure out portion size and figure how many people will be along for the trip. Then do the math and and you will know how much to bring. This should work as a basic list for fish dinners sandwich lunch's and eggs and bacon or sausage for breakfast. Plan on eating lots of walleye or fish dinners but bring back up cans of stew just incase you don't catch fish. I've never personally seen days when we didn't have fish for dinner unless it was our last day and we didn't eat dinner. Fish should be plentiful.

You can substitute powdered items like milk, potatoes and eggs but only do it if there is clean well water. Lake water always seems to leave a certain not so desirable aftertaste.

We do use lake water for drinking if we have to but we always boil it. You don't want to take a chance of getting diarrhea or worse on your fly in fishing trip. Bring some extra containers to put the boiled water in so you have sanitary water on hand. Adding a powdered drink mix to lake water helps cover the taste of lake water.

When you make coffee with lake water make sure to boil it for a few minutes before you start to percolate it.
