A DHC-2T Turbo Beaver floatplane, operated by Air Cab of Port Hardy BC, was conducting a visual flight rules flight from Port Hardy Water Aerodrome (CAW5), BC to Campbell River Water Aerodrome (CAE3), BC. The final approach was in to the sun and when approximately 1 Nm from CAE3, at a height of approximately 20 feet above the water, the pilot focused briefly on adjusting the propeller. At the same time, the airspeed was decreasing and the stall warning system activated. The aircraft then stalled and impacted the water. An aluminum front float strut fitting broke and the propeller struck the water as the aircraft came to rest nose down in the water. There was no post impact fire and the ELT did not activate. The pilot, sole occupant, sustained no injuries and was rescued by the Coast Guard who towed the aircraft to a nearby maintenance facility.
