We flew from VanCouver B.C. to Sand Spit on the East Coast of
the St. Charlotte islands & from sand spit we had to take a helicopter
over to the west coast  to Tasu Sound fishing lodge. Dee was very
worried of flying in the chopper as you can see on her face. The landing
pad was a very small floating boat dock. But the Helicopter trips
turned out to be one of the fun highlights for her. :-)
Our room is the one on the end just behind the chopper

We saw Bears every day walking the beach looking for Salmon carcasses, No beach walks for us :-)

 The first day we elected to go outside the sound & fish on the Ocean for Halibut.
i caught & released the first 2 of approx. 125 #s & 155 #s  because Halibut over 70 # are females & we had decided to only keep a smaller male. Dee caught the 50 # male, more then enough halibut for us.

After landing our Halibut we decided to fish for Coho "silver" Salmon
on the surface without any weights Wow what a fight, jumping & running
the most fighting # for # Salmon there is & we caught & released several.
when Dee hooked a large male, the guide convinced us to keep it. it was the largest Silver Salmon caught on the trip.

Then we decided to fish for Chinook "king" Salmon down about 70 to 80
feet deep. we caught & released a couple of them. Then i caught one bleeding so badly in the gills he would die, so we had to keep him. this is all on the
first day out on the Ocean
