The cost of a fly-in fishing adventure varies significantly based on the level of service and the distance of the flight. On average, you can expect to pay between $1,500 and $5,000 USD per person for a 5-to-7-day trip. A DIY Outpost Camp is the most budget-friendly option. Here, you pay for the flight, cabin, and boats, but you provide your own food and do your own cooking and cleaning. These typically range from $1,500 to $2,200.

Full-Service American Plan Lodges are at the higher end ($3,500+). These packages include professional guides, daily maid service, and three prepared meals a day—including the famous shore lunch. Factors that increase the price include:

• Flight distance: Longer hops into the far north (like the Hudson Bay lowlands) cost more in fuel.
• Group size: Smaller groups may pay a premium for the plane charter.
• Add-ons: Fishing licenses (approx. $50-$100), conservation tags, processed bait (minnows/leeches), and tips for staff.

Always check if your float plane departure from the airbase is included in the base price or if there is a separate  charge for the flight.
