Just returned from a trip to Prince Rupert in British Columbia. Thats lumberjack country!
Fished four days trolling for Salmon and also bottom fishing for Halibut.
Early in the season but caught four fish (limit) total 44 lbs plus largest Halibut
17 lb.
Also caught Skate, Turbot, Flounder and a very ,very large Octopus!!

Saw Humpback and Killer whales, Bald Eagles etc etc.

Absolutely fantastic.

Highly recommended.

I was fortunate that it was a client who paid!! Even bought all the booze.
I paid for the licence c$ 35.

Take a look at the website www.tyeecharters.com

The hotel was c$ 90 per night (4 star) in Prince Rupert.
The flight up from Vancouver was also paid for so i can't be much help.

The food and service on board was excellent and i've had a lot worse 5 star restaurant food.

The dollars is 2.25 so everything is cheap comparitively.

We were lucky with the weather - sun every day. They say it is changing for the better and the Summers are much better than they used to be. Good old Global warming.

I am editing the photos as i ended up with a CD (supplied by the charter) with all my photos plus the Captains portfolio included. Total 700 frames!
I'll put a few on here asap.

If you want to contact this particular company let me know. He is thinking of getting a new boat for next year.
