Smacking’em at Peregrine Lodge
Trip Date: July 19 – 22, 2015
Haida Gwaii is infamous for its mystical shorelines and our guests first day presented itself with a light drizzle of rain and a low cover of fog that swept across the gentle waters of the north. This is the perfect combination set-up to lure those big fish up to shallower depths.
Seven Tyees were angled on opening day, with the largest being just short of a forty pounder. Parker Point is maintaining to be the hot spot and chosen location to get a chance at a trophy-sized salmon.Not to be outdone in size, 14-year old Eric reeled in a 67-pound Halibut, guided by Johnny. Eric was grinning endlessly with the accomplishment of his grand feat.
On day 2 of this trip, four more anglers joined the Tyee Club for the 2015 season, followed by four Tyees over 30 pounds on the final day plus one over 40. Leo Robert had a great final day of Halibut fishing and on their return to the lodge, Jake decided to drop in at the Mazzerados, a tempting spot, which is incredibly close to home. The line went peeling off on his weighted rod and the battle was on. Leo was thrilled to release this massive Tyee taping out to be 43 pounds. We congratulate Leo for his outstanding angling skills, and also to all the newest members to join the Tyee club at Peregrine Lodge, especially to “No-Tyee Kevin” who can not possibly be tagged with that name anymore!
With exuberant amounts of needlefish everywhere on our fishing grounds, we are constantly seeing “silver” dancing on the surface followed by the reoccurring sounds of splashes of salmon being enticed to expose themselves.
The new dock weigh in program has been a highlight for both new and returning anglers.
The anticipation of “I can’t wait for the weight” has stepped up a notch or two, as Hippopotamus time is in full swing, and Hogust is just around the corner at Peregrine Lodge.
We have 4 spots available this year between August 2nd and August 9th. Why let someone else reel in your fish of a lifetime? Get ready, get packed and get in on all the reel big action this year. Please call Bruce at 1-800-663-0992 to book one of our “Last Minute Specials”.
Until next time, thank you for choosing Peregrine Lodge for your fishing adventure and remember, you are always family to us.
Tight lines, and bent rods.
