Main Policies and Guidelines

• All fish filleting must be done by BNC staff unless previously authorized. No fish cleaning in the cabins.
• We are dedicated to conserving and growing our trophy fishery! Since we are all stewards of the lake, Northern Pike over 27 inches and Walleye over 18 inches must be released.
• Appliances are not allowed except when medically necessary. Our electrical system cannot support them.
• Stove-top percolators are provided in each cabin. Please leave your drip coffee makers at home.
• Fish cookers are supplied at camp. Please leave yours at home. We have propane cookers and charcoal grills outside each cabin so you can cook fish outdoors whenever possible.
• Pots and pans are provided in each cabin. Electric griddles stress out our electrical system. Please leave yours at home.
• State-of-the-art filtered water is available at every faucet in camp. No bottled water may be brought in.
• For sports drinks, use powdered mixes and no plastic bottles. For soda pop, bring it in cans.
• Beer may be brought in cans only.
• No marijuana allowed.
• We are a camp in bear country. Therefore, eat your food inside the cabin and not on the porch.
• No pets allowed.

Arrivals & Departures

Our loading dock is adjacent to Red Lake Marine on Highway 105 as you enter the town of Red Lake. We will  meet you at a predetermined time. There is free parking for your vehicle by our dock. On Saturdays and Sundays, pick ups are in the morning or early afternoon. Departures from camp are usually on Friday and Saturday mornings. We will notify you of your times, but do note that all schedules are weather dependent.

Things to bring

Since we are in a remote location requiring a boat ride into camp, we ask you to bring only what is necessary. We can fit more people in the cabin cruiser when everyone brings less! And that also means more fishing time for you! Here are some items to bring:

• Excellent rain wear and waterproof boots
• Clothing for both warm and cool weather. Bring your swim suit … and long underwear in May and September especially! Average daytime highs: May 60s, June 70s, July and August 75-85, September 60s. T-shirts and jeans or shorts with lightweight boots or sneakers are comfortable almost all summer. You’ll want a jacket for morning and evenings. Remember sunscreen, lip balm, and a spare set of car keys!
• Housekeeping guests: plan out your meals and snacks to spend less on groceries. When possible, support the local Red Lake community by buying your groceries there.  And ask them to pack them in boxes for you. All leftover food must leave camp with the guest.
• An insulated drink canteen for each person to fill with our purified water and bring in the boat.
• Fishing gear, etc … strategically pare down what you bring.
• Toiletries and Towels: WE provide dish soap, hand soap, toilet paper, kitchen towels & bed linens. YOU bring bath towels/washcloths, shampoo, bath soap, etc.
• Bait, if you would like to use it.
• Do not bring large coolers of ice or huge duffel bags.
