The Puget Sound Anglers were here over the last several days and, as usual, the resort won’t ever be the same again!
With the salmon fishing a little slower than normal at this time of year they took the jaunt offshore to the Big Bank and got a first hand look at the incredible halibut and ling cod fishery.
The staff and crew of the Canadian Princess Resort love this group of anglers. The interaction of our crew with our neighbours to the south always promotes a friendly, interesting, and all–around fun time. Thanks again, and see you all next year!
Hali fishing has been great, just check out our new season record below. In fact, the halibut record was broken twice in two days!
