Fishing Report Having had enough of the 2018 s St. Louis Heat & Humidity, member Lou Rupp and his wife Pauline, headed north for a Canadian fishing trip. Their destination was an island off the northern tip of Canada s Queen Charlotte lslands/haida Gwaii in British Columba just 20 miles south of Alaska. These waters offer the most consistently abundant salmon fishing in the world. Fishing was for salmon (chincok bs., coho 7-20 lbs. and sockeye, chum, and pink 5-201bs.). In addition, the waters play host to massive halibut, lingcod and numerous species of rockfish. The accommodations are nothing short of first class and full limits were brought home. If you enjoy fishing and/or ever thought about this type fishing adventure, this trip has got to be on your bucket list.
