Local anglers discuss sport fishing

The Puget Sound Anglers-North Olympic Peninsula Chapter’s monthly meeting is set for 6:45 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 18, at Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 Blake Ave., Sequim.

The featured speaker is Bob Kratzer of Angler’s Guide Service in Forks. Kratzer will talk about the Northwest Olympic Peninsula Sportfishing Coalition which works to promote sport fishing as a priority contributor to the Northwest Olympic Peninsula and Washington economy. The coalition serves as a platform for local businesses and sport fishermen to advocate for a more strategic approach, including conservation, to manage area fishery resources for the long-term economic benefit of this rural area.
