Peregrine Lodge Fishing Adventures hosted the last guests of the 2018 season on this four day trip. Our guests this trip were from the USA and Canada and included four private groups consisting of returning guests, first time guests, and family of our Guide Butcher. The weather became rainy on day 2 which was a nice change from the dry weather we have had here in Haida Gwaii. The temperature reached 17 degrees and the clouds parted slightly on the water for days 1 and 4. The winds blew between 10 knots and 16 knots during the days fishing. The seas were calm on day 1 and increased to a maximum height of 1.6 meters on day 4. The fleet fished along the coast from Cape Naden to Shag Rock for Chinook and west of Klashwun offshore for Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon and Halibut. Sockeye Salmon, Lingcod, Chum Salmon, Sea Bass and Rock Cod were also caught by our guests.

On day 3 Gary caught a Tyee weighing 30 pounds and Glenn caught a 20 pound Chinook. Gary’s Tyee was the biggest Chinook caught of the day, guided by Neil. They kept all of day 2 and day 3 fish to take home. On day 4 Brain guided Gary and Glenn offshore where they both hooked the same fish at the same time. This double hooked Chinook was successfully released by Brain and the guys shared the biggest Chinook caught of the day and of the trip with a whopper 43 pound Tyee Chinook. Glenn also caught and released a 26 pound Chinook on the day as well.
Our Legendary Guide Butcher chartered his family on this trip. Marilyn and Julia traveled from Vancouver to spend the last trip of Peregrine’s 30th anniversary season sportfishing with loved ones. Marilyn and Julia fished from Butcher’s Trophy boat and on day 2 Julia caught a 35 pound Tyee that she retained. This was Julia’s first Tyee ever and the largest Chinook of the day. On day 3 Marilyn caught a 24 pound Chinook that she took home. Congratulations to Butcher, Julia and Marilyn.
