John Fiskum

Fiskum Fly Fishing

Happy Holidays to all our fishing community!

Our Speaker John is a fishing guide, instructor and fishing trip coordinator with Kent Senior center. He was a speaker at Renton several years ago and I've had several requests to invite him back. This is going to be a fun and informative meeting. As an added incentive Jan De Felice will be once again serving up her amazing Bourbon glazed Holiday Ham which is always a crowd favorite.

Here at the Renton chapter we have a couple traditions at our December meeting. In the spirit of the Holidays we collect Boys and Girls toys to deliver to Toys for Tots or a local fire station to be given out to make some children’s Christmas a bit brighter. We welcome all toy donations, but we ask that they are new in the box and NOT wrapped. Another tradition, we will have 2 small Christmas trees that we hang new fishing lures on. To enter, just bring a new lure in the package and hang it on the tree, get your playing card and sit back for your chance to win the contents of one of the trees. As a reminder membership renewals for 2025 will be coming up January 1st, but can be paid anytime starting now. I hope to see you at the meeting, but for those unable to attend, Happy Holidays to all.

Puget Sound Anglers Mission Statement

The Puget Sound Anglers us an organization of independent chapters, with common goals and interests, bound only by integrity and fellowship, with the goal of preserving, protecting and enhancing the sport fisheries of Washington State.

The general outline of the organization is for each chapter to remain an independent nature. The State Board was formed with members from each of the chapters and is responsible to those chapters. The State Board is to assist in forming new chapters and promote membership. In addition, it is to help communications among the chapters regarding fund raising and projects of interest to all

Puget Sound Anglers Position Statement

The Puget Sound Anglers organization exists to enhance the opportunities for sport fishing through educational, scientific, governmental and other activities consistent with the preservation and enhancement of fishery resources.  We work for the benefit of our members, affiliated organizations, and others in the recreational fishing community who share our view that common sense and good science is critical to the proper management of our fishery resources.  Changes in our position statements may occur when new information relating to the issue becomes available.

Puget Sound Anglers will fight to protect access and keep recreational fishing open on all waters of the state unless there is a clear indication that recreational sport fishers are the primary cause of a specific conservation problem and that less severe conservation measures, such as gear restrictions, bag limits, size restrictions, quotas, or closed seasons will not adequately provide for conservation and management of the affected stocks of concern.

If closed areas are proposed to be established, any such closure must be supported by the best available scientific information with the area identified by specific land points or latitude/longitude boundaries.  Additionally, any closed area regulation shall include specific measurable criteria to determine the conservation benefit of the closed area on the affected stocks of fish and shall sunset at the end of three years unless scientific data is presented to maintain the closure.  Continuance of the closure will be on an annual basis to allow for periodic review of the continued need for the closed area.  If the closure is not supported by the scientific evidence collected, the closed area will be re-opened to recreational fishing in the next regulation cycle by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Commission.

Puget Sound Anglers Platform

  1. Recreational fishing is an important part of our culture and way of life.                                        
  2. Our fisheries should be managed for conservation of the resource first and secondly to provide quality, sustainable recreational fisheries.
  3. We support full enforcement of our fisheries laws, rules and agreements.
  1. We support Hatchery Reform.
