We strongly recommend that guests purchase trip cancellation insurance. Trip deposit must be made at the time of booking and is non-refundable.

Cancellation insurance is inexpensive and will make a bad situation tolerable. You can explore options with your travel agent or look online; some of our guests have used www.insuremytrip.com.

Camp Life

Your week includes plane transportation from Ft. McMurray to the lodge and back, delicious buffet-style meals in generous portions, full guiding service in 18 foot King Fisher boats with Evinrude E-tec outboard motors (plus an 8hp kicker on each), and experienced, well-trained guides who puts your comfort, safety and overall fishing experience first.

WE PROVIDE:
 Towels, shampoo, soap, all bedding and sunscreen, as well as insect repellent.

YOU WILL NEED TO BRING:
Clothing for warm and cold conditions - you never know - as well as rain gear and water repellent footwear, toiletries, polarized sunglasses, a camera, and a small flashlight or head lamp (in the fall).

BE COMFORTABLE:
Ask the Camp Attendant if you need more pillows, blankets, or other bedding.

CABINS:
At the Johnston Island lodge each cabin contains two beds as well as a washroom (sink, shower and toilet).

LIGHT:
24 hour electricity throughout camp.

BUGS:
We do get a little mosquito action in the early spring, but on the whole, the bugs at Johnston Island are a minor inconvenience and for most of the season, there are very few. You won't need a head net! There are more at Spring Bay, but they're not terrible.

Food and Beverage

ALCOHOL AND OTHER SPECIAL REQUESTS:
These items are ordered when you make your final trip payment. We need to know well in advance what you'd like on hand, so we can be sure to get it in.  It is hard to get late orders into camp so be sure to order with your final payment.

PACKED LUNCHES:
We encourage our guests to enjoy the shore lunch experience, but if you did not order packed lunches and decide you'd like to have them some or all days, please give your guide a days notice so we can have your packed lunch prepared for you.

SNACKS:
We provide squares to go along with lunch.

SHORE LUNCH:
If you don't like spicy fish or fish cooked in oil, talk to your guide and he'll use a a different method to cook your lunch.

MEALS:
We provide buffet-style meals designed to cater to a variety of tastes, centered around steak, turkey, chicken, pork, burgers, etc. If you have an allergy, it is important to let us know on the special requests form. It is also helpful to know if you don't like something like chicken or pork so the cook can prepare an alternative on a night when those items are featured. Diabetics should also let us know so we can prepare some appropriate alternatives for meals/desserts - it is no trouble and we are happy to do it!

Communications

 You are welcome to bring a laptop or mobile device to enjoy the convienience of our 24/7 wifi. We use Skype for our phone system; these calls are free. 

Health Concerns

Your guide needs to know about serious health issues. All guides have Standard First Aid Training and knowing about existing problems may help if you were to have a health incident. Remember, if you are taking medication(s) for a health problem, you need to have a minimum of a 2 day supply with you at all times. Although it doesn't happen often, we never know when a bad storm could prevent us from returning to camp and therefore causing us to have to spend a night on shore. (Please also remember to take your medication in your carry-on luggage on your flights in case of lost luggage).

  • CPAP machines - Many of our guests use CPAP's - Each cabin has a normal 110v plug in for using your CPAP and or charging cameras and phones
  • Back problems - Let your guide know if you have any back issues and he'll do everything he can to make your time in the boat more comfortable.
  • Medical emergencies - On occasion, we have had to bring in a Medivac plane. Please note that this takes time depending on where you are at the time of the emergency. Medical help is generally 1 - 2 hours away.

Payment

Deposits are due at the time of booking. We cannot hold a spot without a deposit. Final Payment is due May 1st.

HOW TO PAY:
Checks should be made out to: H.A.F. General Contracting Ltd. or Lakers Unlimited.   We also accept all major Credit Cards

FISHING LICENSES:
$100 CAD for non-residents and $60 for Canadians - the under 16 set do not require a license.  Before you arrive you can go to: http://www.environment.gov.sk.ca/licences/ to obtain your fishing license.  Follow the steps and enter information if you need to create a new ID and simply pay for your license and print it off.  

If you experience trouble with the system, we can assist you on getting your fishing license once you get to the lodge.

PAYMENT FOR TACKLE, BEVERAGES AND TIPPING:
You'll need to bring enough to pay for any tackle you might buy, beverages or other special orders, and gratuities for guides and camp staff. If you wish, you can include payment for beverages and/or tackle with your final trip payment.

Tipping of guides, cooks, and camp attendants is standard in the industry. For more details or if you are unsure, talk to Cap'n Bruce.
