The Pacific Salmon Foundation just announced that they're doing a fundraising fishing trip in conjunction with Rick Hansen (yes, that Rick Hansen), Going to Duncanby Lodge. It's in Rivers Inlet, the very same place where they caught that insane fish I wrote about. This is the mecca of salmon fishing in British Columbia.

The trip is 3 days, from Saturday June 9 to Tuesday June 12th, and the cost is $3,950 per person. That includes airfare from Vancouver, deluxe accommodations, all meals and booze and, of course, fishing!

You will 100% be catching huge salmon, and 100% supporting conservation of them as the entire price of the trip will go towards the Pacific Salmon Foundation. Oh, and Rick is going along for the trip, so you'll likely get to hang out with him and talk about fishing.

Learn more HERE, and if you've got questions send them to cmatheson@psf.ca.

If you want to book the trip today email nicoleg@duncanby.com
