What Makes This Spot Special?

This is one of our favourite haunts in the Broughton Archipelago. The ocean life is amazing. While fishing we commonly have whales in the area "Humpbacks". We also see lots of Sea Lions, Orcas, seals, and Pilot whales to name just a few. Bald Eagles everywhere. Plus to add to all this is world class fishing for Spring Salmon.

Find it. Float it. Love it.
