Please do your best to plan ahead for your off-grid stay. The nearest grocery store is 2 hours away, so we encourage you to review our packing list and sample meal plan before your trip. If you do forget something small, check with the lodge staff as we have some items on hand. We take a trip into town once a week, so if you need anything please ask us as early as possible. 

Aerobus Lake is a remote wilderness resort, and the closest emergency medical services are approximately 2 hours away. That said, we are here to help. In the event of a serious medical concern, we’ll do our best to assist you in reaching help as quickly as possible with our training.  A first aid kit and medical supplies are also available onsite, but please bring any essential medications or supplies you may need.

Cell reception drops off shortly after Vermillion Bay and is very limited around the resort. The main lodge offers WiFi access if you need to check in with loved ones, but we encourage you to unplug and enjoy the rare chance to truly disconnect. With loons calling, stars overhead, and campfires crackling, those work emails can wait!

Cancellations result in forfeiture of your deposit. Deposits are nonrefundable and nontransferable.

May: With cooler weather and fewer bugs, May offers excellent fishing as most species remain in shallow waters. This is an ideal time for anglers looking to avoid heavy insect activity while enjoying active fish.

June: Early June is still cool, though summer warmth sets in by the end of the month. Bugs, including the mayfly hatch, can be prolific, so booking a cabin with a screened porch (like Beaver Hut, Bull Moose, or Deer Haven) is advisable. While the Trout move to their typical depths, Perch, Bass, and Northern Pike are still accessible due to sparse weed beds, making for easy catches.

July: July brings warm summer days with minimal rain, perfect for families interested in swimming, hiking, canoeing, ATV rides, mountain biking, and more. While the weed beds have filled in, adding a bit of challenge for Northern Pike, Bass, and Perch fishing, it’s a fantastic time for recreational activities alongside fishing.

August: A favorite for many visitors, August remains warm, with cooler nights as the month closes. This period marks the beginning of prime Perch fishing season, especially in late August and early September. By this time, bugs are much less of a concern.

September: With rapidly cooling temperatures, September offers exceptional fishing across all species. As weed beds recede, fish actively feed in preparation for winter. Toward the end of the month, Lake Trout return to shallow waters, making them accessible to anglers casting from shore. It’s also a prime time for witnessing the northern lights, adding an extra layer of appeal to a September trip.
