Bella Bella (Bunga Bunga)

In the summer time, the usually quiet Bella Bella Campbell Island Airport becomes a sort of hub for some of our operations. With the close proximity of so many fishing lodges Bella Bella is the perfect spot for our twin turbines to meet with the float planes to get happy fishermen (or fisherwomen...maybe fisherpeople) back and forth to Vancouver. There are many lodges along the coast of BC. I'm always amazed at what a booming business it is, considering how much it costs for people to come up all this way to go fishing (almost always from the US). I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact I have to pay $50 for a fishing license.

The best thing about being in Bella Bella is getting on the plane so you can get out of there.
They should do some work to improve the Shear Water strip and stop putting government money into
such a dump..
