Any Canada fly-in fishermen here?

Tackle box MUSTS:

-Daredevil
-Johnson Silver Minnow (trail a 2 1/2" x 1/4# strip of white walley belly)
-Little Cleo
-Jig heads - lots....1/8 to 3/8 -- colors not too important, but I did find that if I used darker tails, they were more effective with darker heads (and I only had a few black jig heads along - wished I'd brought more.)
-Twister-type tails - lots and lots various colors; last month where we were, yellow was very hot
-Nice, big inline spinner bait - maybe 1/25-1.5 oz
-Spreaders - for the hammer-handle northerns
-Med. diving crank - bright color(s)
-Wire leaders -- buy a few different kinds early and take the time to check them out; there's some really crappy ones out there nowadays (I broke at least three on big fish and had a couple bizarre heavy duty (Berkley) that had wire so fat I couldn't put jigs on 'em and they killed the action on spoons without split rings.)
