Heli fishing BC's coastal rivers - salmon & trout
|
|
Heli-Fishing is for anyone who wants to participate in the most unbelievable sport fishing adventure of a lifetime. The remote coast of British Columbia has many streams that only see a few anglers a year. These trips take you into this fishing nirvana. No longer is anyone "retired" from fishing. Mountains are mere hurdles for your magic carpet. You can fly out of the rain, and, if the bite goes off, you simply move to another paradise, more beautiful and productive than the one you just left. Each river is alive with fish and there are enough rivers to choose from as your pilot/guide takes you throughout 30,000 square miles, from sea level through seven thousand feet. Depending on anglers skill, each day can see you catching upwards of 30 fish. Lunch takes on a new meaning when you're on top of the world in a restaurant that's never crowded. And a rest on the bank of a wilderness river will be well deserved. All of a sudden the urgency is gone, as a mellow Nimmo moment envelopes you. Then, in an instant, you're back streamside fighting Trout, Coho, Chinook, Chum or Pink Salmon. At the end of your day, the fish is the ultimate winner, as this fishery is 100% catch and release. You are also a winner, as the memory and the pictures live to tell and retell the tale. Cutthroat, Rainbow and Dolly Varden play a large part in nature's annual pageant. Nimmo Bay is a Hardy Endorsed Fly Fishing Resort
