I have never been fishing up North before much less Canada, My fishing adventures include, bass, speckled trout and redfish, after looking at the what to bring section of the Andy Meyers Lodge website and knowing that I have to provide rods and reels for My wife, son and me I wanted to know if anyone out there could break this equation down to 3 rods and 3 reels a piece that would cover all of of our fishing in Canada. Would also help me to travel a lot lighter- Thanks Jeremiah

Mukluk And Steve - Muk- whatever is biting hopefully I will have an opportunity at all species listed at The Andy Meyers Lodge whatever direction they point me to will be fine- this first trip for me is about learning these Northeren species which will be all new to me, I am a very seasoned bass and saltwater angler looking for some new thrills. Steve Thanks that helped a lot, looking forward to meeting you at the lodge -Jeremiah
