Fishing in the Northern Archipelago of B.C. Canada

About two weeks ago, I was invited to take my father's place on a fishing trip with my mom. When I found out that it was just going to be my mom, Linda, I jumped on the opportunity to spend some time with my momma. In two days I packed my gear and headed up to Seattle. We then drove to Vancouver, Canada and jumped on a twine engine to Bella Bella, British Columbia. Once there, we boarded a tug boat, turned into a cruise ship, and headed out for 6 days of Coho fishing. The solitude of it all was relaxing and the wildlife enthralling. Bald Eagles, Humpback whales (within a 20 feet), seals, all surrounded by a dense forest of Cedars and Firs. At night, the stars reflected off of the water and I could hear Humpbacks blowing in the background. Of course on day one, my phone crashed and I was unable to take any photos. Luckily, I met some friends that sent me some. Well, as of now, only one photo has come in, but I am expecting more. The fishing was great! We caught many everyday, releasing the little guys and keeping the twenty pounders. My mom is awesome at the whole procedure and even better at baiting the hook with herring. I was able to bring home eight, filleted and ready to go. I am gearing up for a salmon BBQ with friends in Portland. My favorite part was spending time with my mom. This was the first time that we had taken a vacation with just the two of us. We talked a lot about the past and both gained a greater understanding of each other. I love my mom so much and would go fishing with her anytime! I met some cool people too, the boat staff was a hoot and there was a gentleman also on the trip with his dad, named Andrew. We fished, drank beer, and enjoyed camp fires on the top deck while listening to electronica music.

Next summer, I might go back for a few weeks... Thanks mom for the wonderful and unforgettable trip!!!!!
