* For ATV Adventure Trips to remote back lakes, we recommend that you bring

as little gear as possible on the trip.

A small tackle box and 2 rods & reels that break down are ideal.

Rod hard cases are great protection for travelling to and from the fishing areas.

 

All remote lakes are strictly catch and release.
