meant business.

They had just one thing on their
minds: to get their biggest fish ever.

One, a California banker (nota
teller, he owns the bank), Bud Burtz,
was there for the second time this
season. He, his buddy Mike and
every other soul on Keith Fraser's
floating lodge would be up four
foggy, dark mornings ut 5 a.m. and
head out into the half-light, like
fighter pilots on dawn patrol. Six
hours they trolled, and some morn-
ings the sun never broke through.
But they were warmed by Bob the
cook’s hot breakfast as well as flasks
of coffee and sandwiches.

They came in smartly at
lunchtime, downed a hearty meal,
and were off again at 2 p.m. In the
afternoons the sun generally broke
through. Survival suits were peeled
off, coolers yielded up cold beers,
and spirits rose.

The fish, however, didn’t always
tum up. The anglers gritted their
tecth, tried new locations, changed
bait, and as the sun went down the

boats straggled in.
The first day or so it was slow.
Then a 17-pound spring was landed,
21 followed, and a keen young
man got the first tyee, a glorious 31-
pounder. Coho and pinks were land-
ing on the dock as well, and gencral
manager Peter Hansen could sense
another good week in the making.

But not everybody was getting
fish, including Bud. He and Mike
would come back each evening, lock
at the leader board and wonder when
their turn would come.

There was consolation when a big
dish of nachos with cheese was
delivered to a table on the dock, and
the anglers had drinks and watched
the sunset,

Keith Fraser moves the lodge a
couple of times a year to be near
where the fish are running. Right
now it is tucked away amid a maze
of densely forested islands east of
Telegraph Cove, base for whale-
watching boats.
