Day 0 – The day before departure to your fishing camp, you will arrive by commercial flight at Wabush or by road 389 to Fermont. Stock up at the local supermarket and arrange overnight accommodation. Bring enough goods to be comfortable, but try to minimize the number of packs, coolers and fishing rod cases for easier packing onto the plane.

Day 1 – Fly-in to your fishing camp. Meet your pilot at the agreed-upon location and time, help load your equipment and food onboard the aircraft. Make sure you respect the weight limits and listen carefully to the safety instructions. One or two flights will be required, depending on the size of the group and the type of floatplane. If your destination is Trophy Lake or Haste Lake, wear your waders as the floatplane has to beach a few meters offshore near the camp. Upon arrival, camp-specific instructions will be provided, along with topographic maps of the territory and communication equipment. It’s important to confirm with the pilot the day and time of your fly-out. Then, unpack your gear and provisions and prepare to go fishing.

Days 2 to 5 – This is a self-guided adventure, so you are free to travel and fish, relax and enjoy all that Nature has to offer. Visit all of the best fishing spots, then return to camp for lunch at mid-day to nap or pack a picnic lunch and return in the evening.

Day 6 – Fly-out. Early breakfast, pack up your personal equipment and supplies. Camp-wide cleaning: Leave a bit of split firewood near the stove, please be sure that the floor has been swept, dishes washed and put away, fridge and stove cleaned, portable toilet emptied and rinsed, boats cleaned and gas tanks full. Think about the state in which you would like to see the camp when you arrive. Be ready to leave at the agreed time. If the weather seems doubtful, contact the pilot via satellite telephone about an hour before. Be sure to schedule your commercial flight from Wabush in the late afternoon, evening, or the next day. Otherwise, drive back to Baie-Comeau via road 389.
