Your Trip Planning GuideFor a Fly In Fishing Adventure to Ontario Canada
From Canada’s most experienced and largest provider of Fly In Fishing Adventures
Wilderness North Thunder Bay, Ontario
Saying “Welcome” is what we love to do. Meeting our guests when they arrive in Canada is the beginning of a great adventure for them…and the end to a lot of planning and anticipation.
That’s why we have prepared this trip planning guide for you. Answers to most of your questions can be found in these pages, and you’ll find links to websites that have more details and explanations to everything from fishing regulations to clearing customs.
Starting this year, our recently completed offices and seaplane base in Thunder Bay will be our primary welcome center for guests. Plus, your group will receive a special trip orientation designed to make sure you’re ready to operate our boats, cabin utilities and that you have the most current information about “where they’re bitin” ... with clearly marked maps.
Planning and preparing well in advance is the key to a successful trip, so we have tried to anticipate the most frequently asked questions and provide complete and easy to understand answers in these pages.
A word about weight. The safe operation of our float planes is priority number one for our guests. There is a weight chart in this packet (page 6) with information about weights for each of our destinations - the weights listed are for the gear and luggage -per person- included in the cost of your adventure. Should you wish to bring more weight than included, contact us early to determine what charges apply to your situation. Thanks for your understanding.
While this trip planning kit on your computer allows you to manage the details of your trip, and get all your advance paper work completed easily and on time, NEVER hesitate to call one of our trip planners at 1-888-465-3474. We can - and will - help you at every step of your planning.
See you in this summer…and welcome again to the remarkable and remote Ontario Wilderness.
Cordially,
Alan & Krista Cheeseman

Welcome To The Canadian Wilderness

CANADA CUSTOMSCitizens and legal residents of the United States can enter Canada without a passport or visa only when driving. It is
necessary however, to carry identification confirming your U.S. citizenship - birth, voter’s or naturalization certificate and photo ID such as a driver’s license. If you are entering the country via air, you will need a valid passport to return to the US. The passport requirement for those driving to Canada has been delayed until 2009.
Visitors from other countries are required to present a valid passport and, sometimes, a visa. Questions regarding entry into Canada may be addressed to:
Canadian Immigration Division, Canada Employment and Immigration CentreOttawa, Ontario K1A 0J9Tel: (705) 941-3063
CROSSING THE BORDER- Click Here to See VideoEvery 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:
• 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 proof of citizenship and residency 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.
• 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.
BRINGING CHILDREN INTO CANADAFrom 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. Here again
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 from the parents or guardians to supervise the children. When traveling with a group of vehicles, parents or guardians should travel in the same vehicle as the 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.

Crossing the BorderWHAT YOU CAN BRING WITH YOU
Duty free items that may be brought into Canada are:
• clothing and personal effects• sporting goods• up to 50 cigars, 200 cigarettes, 400 grams of tobacco• 40 imperial ounces of spirits or wine, or 288 ounces of beer (case of 24) per adult• cameras (with a reasonable amount of film)• reasonable food supply per person• a full tank of gasoline
Articles that exceed allowable quantities listed above are subject to import duty.
FOOD, PLANT & ANIMAL RESTRICTIONS
Travelers are often surprised when they are told that certain items are restricted or prohibited because they can harbour foreign animal and plant pests and diseases that could pose a risk to human, plant or animal health and cause irreparable harm to Canada’s crops, livestock, 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.
To avoid problems, when planning your trip, check the Canadian Food Inspection Agency website by Clicking Hereor you may call 1-800-835-4486.
FIREARMS & AMMUNITION
Handguns, fully automatic weapons and firearms less than 26” in length are not allowed into Canada, with the exception of pistols used by participants in bone fide marksmanship contests.
Most sporting rifles and shotguns can be admitted without permit if the visitor is sixteen or older, without a criminal record. A description of all guns, with serial numbers, must be submitted to Canada Customs on entry. Up to 200 rounds of ammunition may be brought into Canada duty free.
DRIVING
• Seat belts are mandatory for individuals over 40 lbs. in weight.
• Radar detectors and studded tires are illegal in Ontario.
• Right turns are permitted on a red light after a complete stop, unless otherwise posted.
• U-turns are not permitted at intersections.
• Canada has strict drinking and driving laws that include watercraft (no alcoholic beverages are allowed in the boat at any time) as well as motorized vehicles. Municipal Police, Provincial Police and Provincial Conservation Officers can all press charges for the consumption of alcohol out of residence and impairment of the person.
Be safe – please don’t drink and drive!3
VISITING CANADA WITH A DWI/DUI
Canada is serious about protecting its borders. Whether you attempt to clear customs by private or public transportation, you could be denied entry into the country if you have a past DWI or DUI conviction or a pending court date on your record.
It is best to check with your legal counsel regarding the status of your record.
In some cases, you can still come into the country, by completing a “rehabilitation” document for approval … WELL IN ADVANCE OF YOUR PLANNED VISIT.
You will find the necessary forms in the PDF format that you can fill in, a guide for completing and submitting each form, and other information regarding this procedure at: Click Here
We can also mail, email or fax them
If you were convicted of or committed a criminal offense in any country, you could be refused admission to Canada. To find out about overcoming inadmissibility Click Here
Be aware if you arrive at the border with a recent DWI-DUI, you will NOT be allowed into Canada, and if you are at the Thunder Bay Airport you will be required to take the next available flight back to the U.S.
We are now offering guests a way to protect themselves against the cost of repairs to boats and motors.
These damages often occur when guests unintentionally hit rocks or travel into shallow areas.
For $10 per day - per boat, you may limit your repair cost exposure to $250 per incident. (Example: Four day trip $20 per person based on 2 persons per boat.)
During your orientation, you will be asked to sign a document accepting or refusing coverage. If you decline the coverage you are accepting responsibility for the complete and total cost of repairs.
You may ask your trip planner for more details prior to your arrival.

Your trip includes a flight on one of the legendary aircraft that opened up the Canadian wilderness to guests just like you. The deHavilland Otter or Beaver. 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.
Below is the “included” weight table for our many destinations. These weights allow us to safely 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 these “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.

• One cigarette butt tossed out the window of a vehicle can start a raging forest fire.
• Cooking fires and campfires should always be tended then doused with water to be sure they are completely out.
• Garbage thrown in the lake or left in the bush; particularly pop cans, beer bottles, plastics and broken fishing line can damage the environment, injure or kill wildlife.
• Respect and preserve wildlife and wildlife habitats for future generations to enjoy!
• Your eight day conservation license allows you to have Two Northerns in your possession at any time. You must return all Northerns over 27.5 inches…and you may have two Walleye, and only one can be over 18.1 inches. We recommend releasing the larger fish and keeping the smaller ones.
