Are you planning to use wheeled or float equipped aircraft.

You may want to check with Villars Air Services in Fort Nelson, however I do think the operate on floats.
Northern Rockies Lodge (Liard Air) operate out of Muncho Lake with a Beaver on floats. Upper Winds Air out of Fort St John operates a beaver on floats.

According to Villars Air Services web sit they have no float equipped aircraft. I flew with Steve Villars 4 different years back in the late 60ies early 70ies in a 185 on floats. He is retired now but was a great pilot. Hauled us & some nice game out in those days.

I've flown with Liard Air three times out of Ft.Nelson. You may have to pay a positioning fee though as he is coming from Muncho. He will work with you to coordinate with another group being dropped off so you can share that fee. Depending on where you want to go, it may be cheaper to drive to Muncho Lake and fly with them from there.

Call Muncho Lake Lodge. Anywhere you want to go sheep hunting by float plane you will be flying out of there. Bring lots of money.
