schedule any time during the summer months. The giant Chinook Salmon, 20-80
lbs., run throughout the season, while the fiesty Northern Coho (up to 24
lbs.) are at their peak during August & September. Fishing for halibut,
red snapper, sea bass and rock fish is so easy we hardly mention it - it is
just taken for granted. "

pristine north shore trails of Malcolm Island. Or take a boat journey and
explore abandoned Native villages. Plans are flexible. "

for Asia. Then the real work begins, trying to coax that hog to the boat.
And before long you start wishing you had spent a little more time working
on those free weights. Salmon fishing at Black Gold Lodge is simply outstanding.

The first long day is on the third day of your trip. On this day you will
