| Fortress Lake Retreat
 2006 was our first operating year at Fortress Lake. The retreat has operated since 1987 and continues to enjoy exceptional
fishing for large brook trout. We opened this week and the fishing has been the usual, exceptional. This past weekend we landed
countless brookies in the 2 to 7 pound range in the limited time we had as we opened our facilities for the season.

Jim & Lynda McLennan photography and writing have been
published in many magazines and publications across N America for the past 30 years. Their resumes in fly fishing are exceptional
and if you book your trip to Fortress Lake while they are joining us, you will have access to their skills and knowledge in
this fantastic brook trout fishery and stunning photogenic location. The trip is regular rates, no additional cost to you!

| Float Plane
 We now access Fortress Lake by float plane from Hinton, Alberta. Hinton is the preferred location to fly from as our inclement
travel route up the Athabasca River allows flight in almost any weather. We are currently exploring an additional flight corridor
for the float plane to land quite close to Calgary.
The float plane has allowed us to reduce our operating costs and trip
cost to you substantially. Our new rate structure is as follows:
Fortress Lake Packages:
4 days - $1800
5 days -
$2250
8 days - $3400
Price include: Return Flight; all meals, snacks, and beverages; Guided & semi guided fly fishing;
Fly Fishing Instruction; Accommodations at Fortress Lake. All prices are per person. Prices are in Canadian funds and do not
include applicable taxes, alcohol, fishing licenses, gratuities, fishing gear/flies.
You will fly on the first and
last day of your trip. Flights occur Friday and Mondays at noon and 2 pm, from June 1 to October 1. We still have openings
for the 2007 season.

We hope to see you soon. The 2007 season promises to be what Fortress Lake has always been, a beautiful, bug free destination
for large brook trout. We look forward to hosting your trip in this World Heritage Site and BC Provincial Park

Choosing The Perfect Fishing Destination
17th January 2006
Whether you plan to saltwater or freshwater fish, you need to think about what your
priorities and what you consider the 'perfect fishing trip'. Salmon fishing in Alaska or Bonefishing in the Florida Keys are
obviously totally different in each destination, type of tackle, weather gear...etc.
One of the first things you must
do to plan a great fishing trip is to identify your priorities. You need to be more specific than just saying you want great
fishing.
Great fishing may mean different things to each person in your fishing party. One person might be happy with
catching 20 fish per day, while another might be expecting 30 fish per hour. So, you need to decide this up front.
Let's
take a look at some of the most important things to consider when deciding where to go on your fishing trip.
What
type of fish do you want to catch? While this may seem obvious, it is something that needs to be discussed. One
person
may want to fish for walleye and northern pike, while others may want to go bass fishing. Since many northern lakes have water
too cold for bass, you may end up at a lake that would really disappoint the bass fisherman.
Do you want tons of action?
Or trophy fish? Some anglers simply enjoy catching lots of fish (most any size) with the hope of getting a few big ones. Other
fishermen would rather give up catching a large quantity of fish for a better chance at catching the biggest fish they can
find. You need to decide which is more important to your fishing group... lots of fish that maybe aren't the biggest or fewer
fish but a greater chance of a really big one.
It should be noted that there are many places where you can do both...
catch lots of fish and get some big ones. But, these tend to be at the more remote and pricey lodges and are not always feasible
for many fishing groups.
How are you going to catch your fish? Do you like to troll? Or drift? Fish in streams? Deep
water fish?
We've seen people trolling in 60 feet of water thinking the fish were only a few feet from the surface.
Not much chance of catching anything this way. Be sure you know the type of fishing your group prefers and that the lake will
offer it.
What do you want to spend for this fishing trip? The price you're willing to pay will have a great impact
on the type of fishing trip you'll have.
Be realistic. How much do you really want to spend? Are you comfortable in
a tent or tar-paper shack on a lake with great fishing? Or would you prefer staying at a more upscale fishing lodge? Do you
want to cook for yourself... or do you want the fishing camp to do the cooking?
And what about shower facilities?
Are you willing to use a community shower or do you want a private shower and bath in your own cabin. Gentlemen, if you're
taking your spouse on this trip, make absolutely sure you consider this one! If you don't, it could spoil an otherwise great
trip.
Other considerations are how long the trip will be and the type of fish you are looking to catch. A trip to
a fishing lodge on a lake with pan fish and bass will likely be much cheaper that a trip to Alaska or Northern Canada for
arctic char.
So, if you really want a great fishing trip, start by planning just exactly what you want out of the
trip and how much you are willing to spend. Do it right and you can have the fishing trip of a lifetime.
Don't just
make an off-the-cuff decision, put some time and thought into what your 'perfect' fishing trip would be and start planning.
