Access Remote Fishing Without Flying
For some of us, the thought of flying instils a fear that we just can't overcome. While I'm lucky enough not to be in this category, some people are—and for them, accessing a remote fishing location may, at first, seem impossible. I have good news for you: in Ontario's Sunset Country our vast number of lakes—many interconnected —offer anglers the opportunity to boat-in to a remote fishing location that has the look and feel of a fly-in outpost.
Several of our member outfitters offer their guests a remote fishing experience that can be accessed by boat. These remote outposts can often take a bit of a boat ride to get to, but in the end you'll find yourself in a far-off location on a lake where other anglers don't usually go—and where the quality of the fishing is second to none.
Advantages of a Boat-in Outpost
There are several advantages to choosing a boat-in outpost including:
- You can bring your own boat. No learning new boats or compromising the fishing system and set-up that your own boat allows you to follow.
- You can bring more stuff. Unlike a plane that has strict weight limits, boats offer you the ability to bring in more gear than you could on a fly-in trip.
- Nothing to fear. For all of you that suffer from aviophobia don't worry, a boat in outpost is the answer to all your prayers to go on a remote fishing trip.
- Weatherproofing. In most cases, bad weather that would ground a plane (like a low cloud ceiling) will not prevent a boat from going out on the water.
- Affordability. Because the cost of a flight in to and out of the outpost is not part of the price, a boat-in outpost is more affordable than a fly-in trip.
- Remoteness. People go to a boat-in outpost to get away from the busier activity at a traditional drive-in lodge.
These advantages are real and meaningful and, again, you get that same quality of fishing and remote feel without having to board an airplane.
