Peter Clarke was a pilot, who grew up in BC and dreamed of flying seaplanes. After completing his flying lessons, Clarke began working as a fishing guide. The Cessna 185 was his first plane. He started his business by flying charters to lodges or backcountry fishing spots. Peter said, "It's just like my childhood - a fishing lodge design." Peter states, "It's exactly like where I grew-up - a fish lodge design." The planes are modern, quiet and fast, which is important for our customers.
