Inside our wheelhouse replica you can experience the atmosphere of modern troll fishing. It's complete with radio, sonaar, radar, and other modern comforts such as a flushing toilet, which is called "the head".

Many family's choose the lifestyle of fishing and living at sea. Often they call a troller just like this one their home. I've met several interesting families here in Steveston who travel the coastal waters of B.C. making a living. In the off season they dock amongst the many fishing boats at the docks in Steveston.

Imagine living for months on end without touching solid ground.
