The Classic Canadian Experience: Floatplanes

Nothing symbolizes the magic of the Canadian North more than its legendary floatplanes. The roar of a floatplane taking off, set against a backdrop of incomparable beauty, is a classic Canadian memory for many. At Gangler’s, we offer and accentuate your experience with only the finest in floatplane travel.

Choosing a fishing lodge does not need to be a daunting task. The Gangler’s reputation was built on offering guests Canada’s greatest fishing combined with incomparable accommodations and service to match. With that goal in mind, we offer a mix of floatplane aircrafts maintained to the highest standards, ensuring you the 5-star experience you deserve.

Mention you want to get away from it all, and most of us think about a week on a beach somewhere warm and relaxing surrounded by a thousand other like-minded souls.

But when the great escape involves trekking with natives, catching your supper and getting a floatplane to the nearest shop, you know you’ve cracked it.

Workhorses

of the North

DeHavilland Otters and Beavers are the classic workhorses of the North. The DeHavillands, along with the Cessna 206 and 185, are still the Cadillacs of remote travel. The North Seal is one of the very few areas below the tree line still accessible only by air. Almost 200 miles from the closest road, this fact ensures our guests the pristine experience and dynamic fishing they relish. And these classic aircraft are still the only way to get there and will enrich your experience.

At Gangler’s, leave the details to us as you revel in the epitome of the Classic Canadian fishing experience.
