Welcome

Welcoming guests for their adventure into
the Ontario Wilderness is what we love to
do at Wilderness North. Lifetime

planning steps away. That is why we have prepared this trip-planning guide for you, to answer your
questions, and to provide you with every detail you need for a successful wilderness adventure.

Thunder Bay
From the southwest: From Minneapolis/St.
Paul take the I35 to MN 61 North. Travel through
Duluth, Grand Marais and Grand Portage crossing
the boarder at Pigeon River (approx. 300 miles or
483 kilometers). MN 61 becomes Provincial Hwy

kilometers) gets you to the Thunder Bay airport. At
the next set of lights Hwy 61 becomes
Trans-Canada Hwy 11/17, which skirts around
Thunder Bay. Pass through the last set of lights at
Balsam Street and turn right on Hodder Avenue.
Head down Hodder Ave until you reach the first set
of lights; turn left at the lights (Grenville Ave).
Head under the overpass and turn left. (See our
sign with the left turn arrow.) Follow the road past
the shipyard, past Lakehead Aviation…turn into
Wilderness North, 531 Shipyard Dr. (On the right.)
Jodi Strizic leads our Wilderness North trip planning team and will look
after the details of your trip plan with a determination to finalize every detail
at least 30 days before your arrival, so all you’ll have to do upon arrival is
focus on becoming a Master Angler.
Upon arrival at your lodge or cabin destination or at our Thunder Bay Guest
Welcome Center, you will receive a custom trip orientation designed to make
sure that you’re ready to operate our boats and that you have the most
current information about “where they’re biting”…with clearly marked maps.
Your adventure begins with a safe flight in a DeHavilland Beaver or Otter and rest assured safety is priority
number ONE for every passenger on our floatplanes. Refer to page 12 as you pack for your trip to get more
information about these flights, and the included weights for your gear and tackle.
Your trip planning team stands ready to answer every question you may have and can be reached at
888-465-FISH (3474), or at [email protected]
We are anxiously awaiting your arrival this summer. Welcome to Wilderness North in the Ontario
wilderness.

Adventures
We call them remote cabin (outpost) adventures
and they are a wilderness adventure like no
other!
We fly you in. We return to fly you out. While
you are there you are all alone. Fish when you
want, eat when you want, sleep if you must.
Remote cabins are often the only cabin on the
lake. So careful planning for this adventure is a
must.
Here is a list of reminders for planning your
outpost cabin adventure:
Bring your own bedding, pillows, towels, soap
and toilet paper. (see list on page 13.)
Bring your own food. We have food packs
available and would be glad to customize for you.
(see page 14)
Bring your own beverages – we can provide
beverages too. (see page 14)
Bring plenty of back up fishing lures and gear.
Live bait is available. (see page 13)
Bring clothing for all kinds of weather- wet &
dry- warm & cold. (see page 13)
Don’t forget your camera, prescription
medication, first aid kit & flashlight.
Weight limits apply (see page 12), so pack
carefully.
All of our cabins have running water, water
heaters, stoves, and refrigerators with freezers.

any time 24/7. If you must have electric power,
tell your trip planner.
We remind you that conservation officers can
and often do fly into these remote lakes to check
on your compliance with applicable fish limits,
your fishing license and outdoor card, boat safety
kits and boat operator’s paperwork. They also
enforce the law that prohibits the presence of
alcoholic beverages in the boat at any time.
When you first arrive, we will provide a group
orientation so that you may learn more about
starting and running the outboards, the use of
landing creels, the allowable catches of your
fishing license, and any questions about propane
lamps, stoves, and refrigerators. And we’ll give
you maps of your lake, with success spots from
the most recent guests clearly marked - to get
you off to a great start.

trip and your schedule.
Our manager looks after your boat, keeps the fish
cleaning room clean and keeps the dock clean

Strikers Point Lodge
Miminiska Lodge
Makokibatan Lodge
Strikers Point Lodge – is on Whitewater
Lake and home to the 2005 Ontario record for
largest Northern Pike. Its reputation for Walleye
production is also well known. In the heart of the
Wabakimi Park, this 26 mile long lake, is part of
the famous Ogoki River system. Guests use
17-foot Lund boats with electric start 25HP
4-stroke motors.
Miminiska Lodge – is on Miminiska Lake,
within the Albany River watershed and one of
only two lodges on the Albany. Fly out trips to
legendary streams and rivers promise world class
Brook Trout, while the lake itself is home to
excellent Walleye and Northern Pike
populations. Guests use 17-foot Lund boats with
electric start 25HP 4-stroke motors.
While each is unique... in a variety of ways they
each have common service levels. Here is a list
that will help you prepare for your trip to each of
these lodges:
We prepare and serve your meals, with “cooked
to order” breakfast each day from 6 to 8:30 am.
Shore lunches or packed lunches are prepared
from an “order form” you give us each evening at
dinner. Happy half hours are at 5:30 pm and
dinner is served at 6 pm each evening so there’s
plenty of time for “after dinner” evening fishing.
Guests can bring their own snacks, and alcoholic
beverages and your trip planner can help you
prepare those lists. We do carry a variety of pop
and beer for purchase at the lodge. To ensure we
have the beverages of your choice and an
adequate supply, we ask that you place your
beverage order no later than 30 days prior to
your trip. There is no refund on beverages that
are not consumed.
Guides are available - mostly First Nation
Ojibway Locals - who have lived in the area for
their entire lives. Cost is $200 (CAN $) per day
per guide.
Fly-Out Trips are available to area lakes and
streams and a minimum number of guests apply,
ask your trip planner for fly-out trip availability
and costs for your group.
Makokibatan Lodge - is right on the
Albany, and also highly regarded for Brook
Trout, Walleye, and Northern Pike. It is the
“other” lodge along the Albany, and offers the
remoteness anglers and adventure travelers seek
in a Canadian trip. Guests use electric start
25HP 4-stroke motors.
We ask that all charges for the trip itself be paid
in full prior to arriving at the lodge. Only
purchases at the lodge will be settled with the
manager the evening before you head home.
Tips are an entirely personal matter. Most of our
guests do tip, usually the amount ranges from
$10 to $20 per guest per day. The cash is
distributed on an “equal share” basis at season’s
end.
Traveling To
Canada
IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
FOR BORDER CROSSING
Citizens and legal residents of the United States
can enter Canada, but must have a valid passport
whether driving or flying.
Visitors from other countries are required to
present a valid passport and sometimes a visa.
Please let your trip planner know if you are
entering from any country other than the US.
Don’t make jokes about guns, drugs, theft or
terrorism.
Customs officials have a difficult job to do
assessing potential criminal activity such as
smuggling, kidnapping and trafficking. They can
detain you as well as impound your vehicle to
search for contraband if your behavior makes
them suspicious in any way.
Questions regarding entry into Canada may be
addressed to:
Canadian Immigration Division, Canada
on the web http://www.cic.gc.ca
Tel: (705) 941-3115
CROSSING THE BORDER
Every year 30 million people drive across the
border from the USA into Canada. Here are a few
tips to make the crossing fast and simple:
You may bring your fillet knife. If you are flying,
it must be packed in your checked luggage, not
brought in a carry-on bag. Leave all weapons at
home. This includes guns, knives, switch blades,
pepper spray, nun-chucks and mace. All are
illegal in Canada without proper documentation.
As you approach the customs compound shut
down as much noise as possible; turn off the
radio, CD player, turn off the cell phone, ask all
passengers for quiet.
Unless they are prescription, remove your
sunglasses. If they are prescription and you have
a clear pair handy, change them for the few
minutes it will take you to chat with the customs
officer.
Have passports available. Have car registration
available. Answer all questions directly and
politely. Do NOT attempt chit/chat.
If requested to move to one side for an
inspection, don't take it personally, you may just
be the “5th blue vehicle” and are being inspected
at random.
Obey all speed limits and restrictions while in the
border compound.

BRINGING CHILDREN INTO
CANADA
From time to time our guests bring along minor
children, and it is a good idea to remember that,
like adults, they too face certain laws about
entering into Canada.
If you are traveling with children, you should
carry identification for each child. We
recommend the original birth certificate.
Divorced parents who share custody of their
children should carry copies of the legal custody
documents. Adults who are not parents or
guardians should have written permission for the
children to leave the country from the parents or
guardians of the children. Even if you are with
your own child, bringing the other parent’s
written permission is a good idea. When
traveling with a group of vehicles, parents or
guardians should travel in the same vehicle as
their children when arriving at the border.
Customs officers are looking for missing children
and may ask questions about the children with
whom your are traveling.

dinner. Happy half hours are at 5:30 pm and
dinner is served at 6 pm each evening so there’s
plenty of time for “after dinner” evening fishing.
Guests can bring their own snacks, and alcoholic
beverages and your trip planner can help you
prepare those lists. We do carry a variety of pop
and beer for purchase at the lodge. To ensure we
have the beverages of your choice and an
adequate supply, we ask that you place your
beverage order no later than 30 days prior to
your trip. There is no refund on beverages that
are not consumed.
Guides are available - mostly First Nation
Ojibway Locals - who have lived in the area for
their entire lives. Cost is $200 (CAN $) per day
per guide.
Fly-Out Trips are available to area lakes and
streams and a minimum number of guests apply,
ask your trip planner for fly-out trip availability
and costs for your group.
Makokibatan Lodge - is right on the
Albany, and also highly regarded for Brook
Trout, Walleye, and Northern Pike. It is the
“other” lodge along the Albany, and offers the
remoteness anglers and adventure travelers seek
in a Canadian trip. Guests use electric start
25HP 4-stroke motors.
We ask that all charges for the trip itself be paid
in full prior to arriving at the lodge. Only
purchases at the lodge will be settled with the
manager the evening before you head home.
Tips are an entirely personal matter. Most of our
guests do tip, usually the amount ranges from
$10 to $20 per guest per day. The cash is
distributed on an “equal share” basis at season’s
end.
Traveling To
Canada
IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
FOR BORDER CROSSING
Citizens and legal residents of the United States
can enter Canada, but must have a valid passport
whether driving or flying.
Visitors from other countries are required to
present a valid passport and sometimes a visa.
Please let your trip planner know if you are
entering from any country other than the US.
Don’t make jokes about guns, drugs, theft or
terrorism.
Customs officials have a difficult job to do
assessing potential criminal activity such as
smuggling, kidnapping and trafficking. They can
detain you as well as impound your vehicle to
search for contraband if your behavior makes
them suspicious in any way.
Questions regarding entry into Canada may be
addressed to:
Canadian Immigration Division, Canada
on the web http://www.cic.gc.ca
Tel: (705) 941-3115
CROSSING THE BORDER
Every year 30 million people drive across the
border from the USA into Canada. Here are a few
tips to make the crossing fast and simple:
You may bring your fillet knife. If you are flying,
it must be packed in your checked luggage, not
brought in a carry-on bag. Leave all weapons at
home. This includes guns, knives, switch blades,
pepper spray, nun-chucks and mace. All are
illegal in Canada without proper documentation.
As you approach the customs compound shut
down as much noise as possible; turn off the
radio, CD player, turn off the cell phone, ask all
passengers for quiet.
Unless they are prescription, remove your
sunglasses. If they are prescription and you have
a clear pair handy, change them for the few
minutes it will take you to chat with the customs
officer.
Have passports available. Have car registration
available. Answer all questions directly and
politely. Do NOT attempt chit/chat.
If requested to move to one side for an
inspection, don't take it personally, you may just
be the “5th blue vehicle” and are being inspected
at random.
Obey all speed limits and restrictions while in the
border compound.

BRINGING CHILDREN INTO
CANADA
From time to time our guests bring along minor
children, and it is a good idea to remember that,
like adults, they too face certain laws about
entering into Canada.
If you are traveling with children, you should
carry identification for each child. We
recommend the original birth certificate.
Divorced parents who share custody of their
children should carry copies of the legal custody
documents. Adults who are not parents or
guardians should have written permission for the
children to leave the country from the parents or
guardians of the children. Even if you are with
your own child, bringing the other parent’s
written permission is a good idea. When
traveling with a group of vehicles, parents or
guardians should travel in the same vehicle as
their children when arriving at the border.
Customs officers are looking for missing children
and may ask questions about the children with
whom your are traveling.

pets, and environment. Because of this threat,
travelers are required to declare any meats,
fruits, vegetables, plants, animals, and plant or
animal products they bring into the country.

Your
Flights
Your
Weight
What To
Bring
Your adventure includes a round-trip flight to
your wilderness destination on our own
DeHavilland Otter, the legendary aircraft that
opened up the Canadian Wilderness.
Because there are NO roads to our many
destinations - Cabins - Camps- and Lodges, we
carefully load your gear and your group onto one
of these safe and reliable float planes... but there
are guidelines to follow.
To the right is the “included” weight table for our
many destinations. These weights allow us to
safely and properly load the planes with both
passengers and their gear, while staying within
the weight recommendations of the aircraft
manufacturer and the laws as they are enforced
by Transport Canada. Should you wish to bring
more weight than the “included” maximums,
contact us IN ADVANCE of your trip to
determine if that weight can travel with you on
your flight (at about $1 per pound) or if an
additional charter flight will be required.
Also see our “Packing for Canada” video at our
website or on the DVD.
INCLUDED WEIGHT TABLE:
Miminiska Lodge:

Canadian law requires boats to be equipped with
a federally approved PFD or lifejacket of an
appropriate size for each person on board. (U.S.
Coast Guard approved should meet this
standard.) PFDs must be a jacket not a floating
seat cushion or ski belt. It is recommended that
lifejackets be worn at all times while in the boat.
Ontario law requires that all boat operators –
who live in Ontario – complete a boat safety
training course and carry a certificate on the
water to prove it. U.S. Guests, will also be
required to have this training and we provide it.
Your trip planners in Thunder Bay, or at our
lodges will take 15 minutes to give you the
required instruction, and along with your fishing
license, outdoor card, you will carry your proof of
