The nearest otter is Smithers. They’ll land on Level with a beaver but reduced loads on takeoff.

Yah ....High elevation means reduced weight on takeoff..Too bad Ray and Ernie Sande still arent flying ..They had an Otter ...Dennis
Yes the good old days. Beaver, Otter and 185. Found some old receipts for BCYukon for the Otter $2.45 a mile and a small fuel surcharge. But that was well over 30 years ago. Wish I had gone every year back then, getting the time off was the problem. Lately I have been going to Central and Eastern Europe with the wife for less than it would cost to fly into my favorite hunting lake. Times have changed!
Is that on Tatogga? I had the same experience a few years back.
I think Alpine Lakes sometimes doesn't know where each of their planes is going to be based at a given date on the season (Smithers or Tatogga), so if you're asking about a larger plane out of Tatogga on a given date and they think the Caravan will be working out of Smithers at that point they'd answer that they didn't have a larger plane available, as in they don't want to relocate it for one flight. With that said anything can change with weather, work and flying. If you know they have the Caravan and that's what you want and you call them with the specific idea of utilizing the Caravan to get to a lake it might be different.
