The Queen Charlotte Islands of British Columbia, Canada, are literally on the edge of the world and the Queen Charlotte Lodge is an amazingly luxury fishing lodge in this northern, remote wilderness.

I just returned from a weekend at the lodge and while the weather was cold and wet, the fishing was fun and the scenery stunningly beautiful. Sea lions, seals, bears, deer and bald eagles are common sights. The Lodge is a first class operation with great food and accomodation but the staff make the place a friendly fun place to be.

This is a photo of me with a 25 lb. chinook (aka spring, king or tyee): cold wet and happy.
