Any of you guys fly in this area? I am looking for fuel on floats in Chibougamau area. I can't make Mistassini so was wondering if there are any private docks that would sell me fuel on prearranged terms.

I know I have seen planes on a few of those lakes on the way into town from the airport. Even if I could have someone allow me to get a 45 gal drum to sit on or near there dock.

Thanks.

hey,

Call Esso (or whatever it is) at the airport CYMT. There's a lake across the airport where you can get gas from them. I don't know exactly how it works.

cheers

There's a road going down to a lake just off the main strip, so Esso should be able to help. If not, try giving Air Saguenay a call - they have a float base about 5 north. When I was there ~ 3 weeks ago, they were just getting the docks set up for the summer.

Thanks, I'll call and let you know how I make out.

Again thanks. I found but am waiting for a call back to confirm that fuel can be purchased at Lake Ledden right near the airport. For anyone interested, that number is (418) 748-4429

As someone already pointed out I think AirSag is your best bet..... They've always sold me fuel when needed, expensive but always in supply... and the owner's daughter is a cute one..... Oups, I usually see her in Schefferville, or Lac Rapid

Have a good trip

Easy to get fuel at the airport, just call esso 2 hours before you get there and they will set you up... You can also stop at Barrage Gouin which is about 60 miles south of YMT...
