Upon receipt of your deposit
A confirmation package will be sent for your preplanning fun - included are fishing regulations and tips, customs procedures, planning tips as well as navigational maps of the areas most frequently used. The maps will be marked with a large number of possible tie up spots for your convenience. These are yours to keep. They make a great souvenir as you mark your trip and special notes on them.

First time?
If this is you first time on Lake of the Woods in this area, we will take 2-4 people out in our boat to get them acquainted with the map reading and "rules of the road". This system works well because there are no distractions. We have a lot invested too, and would like to have you get off to a good start.
