Fly-In Fishing Lodges - Wheels

[Navajo Flyer]

Looking at doing something different this summer. Needing the names of some fishing lodges that have their own aircraft on wheels that fly their own guests in and out of the lodge. Thx

There was one up north of High Level in Alberta that had a strip. Only the strip was bad when wet. I flew several loads up there in an amphib caravan in 2006. I think it was called Bischo Lake Lodge.

There was another lodge way up in the Tundra that had twin otters landing on Eskers. North Western Air Lease in Fort Smith might know their name. I only ran a few trips up there.

Elk Island on Gods Lake, Bolton Lake, northern Mb. Wedge Hills, Hellen's Falls in Nunavik, west of Labrador border.

The airstrip at elk sees ATR's, 748's, 99's and the occasional citation throughout the summer. Bolton would be a bit of a stretch for more than say a 99. Knee lake has the ATR's coming and going as well. There are quite a few now with dedicated runways.

Plummer's Lodges at both Great Bear and Great Slave Lakes. Both runways handle Boeing 737's.

Not sure about them them having their own wheel planes but Miminiska lodge has a strip. (About half way between Pickle Lake and Fort Hope) Used to take tourists in there with the Caravan years ago although there were often a few private planes on the strip as well.

Of the Manitoba lodges at least, the only ones that I know of that operate their own wheel planes are Gunisao Lake Lodge and Nueltin Lake Lodge. Gunisao is an entry level type position with (I think) a 182 and Nueltin I have heard is in a change of ownership right now.
Elk Island operates a Beaver on floats and shares a float 206 with Bolton Lake. North Haven/North Star (which have one owner) operate a floatplane under Wings Over Kississing's license I believe.
Wings Over Kississing operates the planes for several lodges ever since our buddies at TC made paperwork requirements somewhat huge.
AlAir in St. Theresa Point operates a Cherokee Six if that helps.

Good luck with the search
