Canadian Travel Checklist
Passport!
For air travel in Canada we recommend using three pieces of luggage - rod tube with rods, tackle box/bag , and your clothing bag. Be sure to put name-tags both outside and inside.
PASSPORT: You are traveling to a foreign country so carry your passport. No passport! Get one! In 2008 you will no travel in Canada without one, or even fly in & out in 2007.
During the fishing season the weather is most comfortable. Remember that weather can have a big variance, so be comfortable by layering your clothing. One might see cold weather with rain to afternoon highs reaching into the 90's Fahrenheit. On big lakes the water is much cooler, 50 degrees, so morning boat rides may require a jacket.
