The Bell 206B aircraft operated by Helicopter Transport Services (Canada) Inc, was collecting caribou radio collars at three predetermined locations, approximately 42 nautical miles West Southwest of Lynn Lake, MB (CYYL). The crew had collected two radio collars uneventfully until they arrived at the third location. The terrain was uneven, covered with dead trees and brush, and sloped towards the lake. The pilot landed on the edge of a lake to allow three passengers to disembark. Once the passengers indicated that they were clear of the helicopter, the pilot attempted to lift off into a hover; however, the helicopter started to enter into a dynamic rollover to the right. The pilot quickly lowered the collective to stop the dynamic rollover. The helicopter settled aft, which caused the tail rotor to strike the water. There were no injuries to the pilot or the three passengers, but the helicopter sustained substantial damage to the tail rotor assembly. The pilot contacted the operator by satellite phone to report the accident. The ELT did not activate, and search and rescue personnel were notified. The pilot and passengers were picked up by a second helicopter and flown to La Ronge, SK (Heli) (CJX3).
