July & August are excellent: In general, the weather is stable (warmer and less rain), and the fishing is concentrated around the structure points on the lakes. It is because of these factors that we find our biggest stringers of walleyes and northerns are caught. These are also the ideal months for taking that family vacation on a fly-out fishing trip. Just you and your party – your own cabin on a lake all by yourselves.

Loads and load limits:
Floatplane load limit is 40 pounds per person. This will include your personal gear, your fishing gear, and sleeping bag. In addition to this, each person can bring one life preserver jacket and case of beverage of their choice. For every two persons you are allowed one cooler (no wheels). Please keep these weight restrictions in mind since any gear beyond this weight limit will be left behind or you will have to pay for the extra flight.
