Fishing in the Queen Charlotte Islands

Caitlin Erin and I had the opportunity to go fishing on the northernmost island of the Canadian Queen Charlotte Islands from June 5th to the 8th 2004.

Hopefully I'll get to update the story of the trip later, but here are some pictures and captions...

One morning's catch of five Chinook.

These stellar sea lions stole many fish off peoples lines, luckily not ours.

The humpback whales were our friends through much of the trip.

This rock is called the flowerpot and is half under water at high tide.
