HELI SKIING AND SALMON FISHING, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA
If like us you are a skier who is also passionate about fishing, this is quite possibly the holiday of a lifetime - heli skiing velvety smooth corn snow in the morning and fishing for massive king salmon in the afternoon.
From your base at Tweedsmuir Lodge near Bella Coola British Columbia (click here to view location) you will have the chance to explore the rugged terrain of the Coast Mountains in a group of 4 or 5 skiers/boarders in an A-Star B2 helicopter. The runs are, on average, 900 vertical meters (3000 feet) long and groomed to perfection by nature.
The fishing in this part of the world is exceptional. Primarily you will be targeting the mighty King Salmon (Chinook). The average weight of these fish is an astonishing 25 lbs (12kg) with fish up to 50 lbs (23kg) not uncommon. They are powerful and aggressive fighters that will test the skill and nerve of the most accomplished fly-fisherman. Sturdy gear is essential. You will also have the opportunity to catch Rainbow Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Dolly Varden with an average size of 2-4 lbs (1.5kg).
Experienced guides, both heli skiing and fishing, will help out every step of the way. You will stay in newly constructed cabins with private bathroom and shower, a main bedroom, a loft, and a fireplace.
The main lodge includes: a huge dining room / living room with fireplace; sports bar with pool table and games; satellite TV; a large outdoor hot tub; a guest media room with satellite linked computer; fax and phone service; and a fitness room.
