March 2009 Newsletter - How many trophies will you catch at Amik Outposts in 2009?

Trophy Fishing will be at it's Finest in 2009

Spring is arriving and we are getting prepared for the 2009 season, and hopefully you are to. The days are getting longer, the snow is melting, the sun is gaining power each day intiating the spring thaw. Think of the hundreds of trophy fish caught in 2008 and most importantly "released" back into the water, having gotten even bigger over the long quiet winter. Not long from now the boreal forest, pristine lakes, rushing rivers and clear blue skies will be alive with activity as summer takes over from old man winter. Are you going to visit Amik Outposts in 2009?

With the economic world in turmoil there is one thing you can count on, a quality flyin fishing vacation with Amik Outposts. We have always strived to make your trip an experience to be cherished forever, 2009 proves to be no different. First Class customer service, experienced pilots, well maintained aircraft and equipment are all assets that accompany our awesome fishing and beautiful remote cabins to make your vacation one to be remembered.

Please remember that we are only a phone call or email away if you have any questions regarding details of your trip. A reminder also that we can arrange for your food and beverages to be ready and waiting to be flown in with you. As usual we always remind our guests to be mindful of the weight of their gear, which includes your beverages and groceries. A good formula to use is 60 pounds for personal/fishing gear and 40 pounds for food and beverage. 24 cans of beer or pop weighs 20 pounds. Remember we have a Honda generator at each lake for re-charging your batteries for depth finders, cameras etc. No need to pack the weight of multiple batteries if you can just bring the one set to re-use but don't forget the charger.

Passports
Starting in 2009, you will need a passport to re-enter the United States. If you do not have a passport and need to apply for one, here is the link. U.S. Passport Website We find that groups of fishermen who are organized with all passports ready when you get to the Border, crossing is usually fairly easy. Birth Certificates will be sufficient for anyone under 18 years old. Please remember to apply right away and ask the members of your party if they have a passport! It would be a shame to miss out on a season of fishing at Amik Outposts.

We hope everyone is getting excited about their upcoming trip and it will be good to see our many long time friends and welcome new guests, doing our best to make everyones vacation a memorable one.

See you this summer,Bruce, Debbie, John and Rena
