Let us hook you up with a Tyee!

This was the trip of the Tyee’s with well over 24 of the illustrious landed to the Peregrine fleet over the past four days. There was plenty to celebrate at the weigh in every day and even a 55 lb Hog to keep the energy high on this fishing adventure.
 

Some of these monster hogs are being found in unlikely places with plugs just barely sinking below the surface before they’re hit. When they’re here, they’re here! Jeff was aboard our Crown Jewel using a downrigger at an exceptionally shallow troll when he hooked his trip winning 55 lb Chinook. At first they thought it might have been a halibut because of the area they were fishing in… that was until the line went for a screecher of a run. The fish have been fighting hard this week and Jeff’s was no exception with almost 40 minutes being put in before landing the hog.
 

This trip some of these reel battles are getting stepped up by the fish as the summer continues on. The 25 pounders have been swimming like they’re 35 lb with people being surprised with the 30 min it takes to fight the raw power of these incredible species! There is nothing quite like salmon fishing in the Haida waters especially with this season continuing to prove it’s one of the best runs we have seen in years up here.
 

With over 24+ Tyee being landed, many of the 35 lb and up being released, the list of people to congratulate is getting longer every trip! Congratulations to Jeff, Bill, Joe, and Ed, for catching and releasing fish over the 40 lb mark. Congratulations to everyone not mentioned for a phenomenal display of fish mastery over the past four days.
 

This season has also been amazing for the weather and not only the fish! Today it was sunny blue and glassy smooth as far as the eye could see into the horizon. Perfect weather for those wishing to get their halibut after having their fill of salmon fishing.
 

It’s time now to watch yet another an amazing sunset over Naden harbor, with our old friends and new friends. Till the next report,
