The location of a boat-in lodge is generally more remote and less crowded. It offers a popular option for serious fisherman, or for a family adventure. Fly-in Lodges are accessible only by air. They range from remote outpost facilities to 5-Star American Plan Lodges. As a rule of thumb, the farther the flight from the base to the lodge, the higher the cost.
Some flyin lodges can accommodate large groups while others cater to smaller groups.
Final selection may depend on the size of your party and the size of the aircraft available. Combined weight of people and gear is the important factor. Air services and outfitters will help you to preparing an appropriate gear and supply inventory. Communication in emergency situations can be a priority and the frequency of flyby inspections or access to radio phones could be an important consideration. Discuss these details fully prior to your departure.
