Canvas Wall Tents : an authentically Native and cozy experience

Guests at Awashish Outdoor Adventures experience a typically Native fishing trip, as they lodge in authentic canvas wall tents. These lodgings provide guests with all of the necessary amenities to ensure their well-being and comfort.

Each tent is equipped with a propane stove and refrigerator. The energy for lighting is provided by solar panels, which are fixed to roof.

Guests who choose the European plan can prepare meals in their tents, as it is equipped with all of the necessary cooking tools (pots, pans, dishware, utensils, coffee maker, etc.).

The beds are very comfortable and linen is provided to all of our guests. Nonetheless, we recommended that you bring your own sleeping bag.

Our Boats : spacious, comfortable,
and safe

Rupert River is a very vast watercourse and contains a number of raging rapids. Consequently, we have chosen boats which correspond to the highest safety standards.

You will be at ease fishing in these large 14 or 16-foot motor boats. Each boat is equipped with a 25 or 30 HP motor, which allow our guides to speedily travel from one fishing spot to the next.

If our guests are short of any piece of fishing equipment, our guides will gladly lend it to them. For instance, when lake trout can only be found in the river’s depths, we provide our guests with a sounding line and lead (plummet). Each boat is equipped with a fish net and bucket.

The “Fish House”

Done properly, gutting and filleting of fish will ensure that your catches remain fresh beyond the journey home. Awashish Outdoor Adventures’ premises are equipped with a gutting house, called the “Fish House.” Enjoy the spectacle while our guides gut and fillet your catches. Once they have cleaned and prepared the fish, they will wrap the fillets in wax paper and freeze them, so you can enjoy fresh fish back home.

Meals Cooked Cree Aboriginal Style

Guests who have chosen the American plan will get to savour typical Aboriginal meals. Jeannette and her team prepare tasty meals daily, which provide our guests with yet another opportunity to experience Mistissini Cree culture. 

Bannock, the traditional Aboriginal bread, is the main breakfast course. It is served with pancakes, French toast, omelettes, and fried eggs. Of course, this meal would not be complete without our freshly ground coffee and its delightful smell, which will accompany you from your canvas wall tent to the breakfast table. 

At dinnertime, let yourself be pleasantly surprised by our Head Chef, who will cook up a variety of meals, combining fresh fish and meat. Treat your taste buds to Jeannette’s delicious breaded walleye fillets and smoked sturgeon. Also, if the Awashish family has recently hunted a big game animal, such as a moose, you will assuredly be served some of its meat, prepared in the traditional Cree manner.  

In brief, your stay at the Awashish family outfitter will be a culinary awakening to remember, as you will have experienced authentic Cree cuisine at its best.
