Lori Writes: Nootka fishing trip

Lori says:

Just got back from fishing for a couple days up in Nootka sound BC. 
Here are a couple pics from the trip, more to come later, over all I
think we brought home about 600-700 pounds of fish between us!  we had
five of us on the boat, John, his brother Tony, their dad Harvey and
their friend Brad who owns the boat.  We had our limit of kings the
first day in about 1 1/2 hours!   Nootka is on vancouver Island we drive
up to Campbell River , the road is good there, then head towards Gold
River, the road gets real narrow and twisty then at Gold River it is
about 1hr 45min on a primitive mostly gravel road to get to where we
meet the boat, then 20 min to the lodge.  The lodge is floating and with
so many bears around I am glad it was!  We saw several bears, humpback
whales all over, sea otters.  The landscape is unreal.  super deep water
with peaks still snow capped.  Basically wilderness! It would have been
great to stay a LOT longer but now we have to make hay.
Here is a pic of the boat coming to get us.  It is a super nice
Seawolf.. a pic of the fish we cought the first morning, the water at
the lodge was an amazing emerald green, and a pic of us approaching the
lodge.
