It was a sunny, crisp October morning when I got a call from some friends saying that they wanted me to fly them into a special fishing camp in Klawock Alaska. Of course I agreed...

I packed up the DHC3-TTC Super Otter and off we went

After a quick 30 minute flight we arrived at Klawock Fishing Camp. Its just a small lake but it has stream access to the bigger lakes so its a great location.

On approach, the owners of the fishing camp came out and snapped some pictures...

While taxiing to the dock we could see the fish jumpin' all around us! The guys were VERY antsy to get out there...

After unloading all the cargo, I headed back to base. I so wanted to stay and do some fishing but I had too many other customers waiting to get shipped around.

Upon leaving the lake I realized that, yes...I would have loved to stay and try to catch a big one...but I am much happier up here enjoying the sites...

Lined up for final and I can see my next group waiting anxiously to get going.

HA! HA! good one Dave! Grin

Ken, don't worry...if you forget your camera again, I will have lots of those disposable point-and-shoots that you can use! (then we'll see how good of a photographer you are!) Grin

Anyone else need to get picked up?! I got enough room for 10! (well 8 actually, once we get all the Captain Morgen on board!) Wink

Thanks again everybody!
