North Kitsap Puget Sound Anglers…

We are the North Kitsap Puget Sound Anglers. We are dedicated to preserving quality fisheries. We believe that our salmon resources can be restored with sound biological management. We believe in the comradeship and wishes of fellow sport fishing anglers. We believe our grandchildren can have a higher quality fishery than any of us ever had.

Our monthly member meetings are normally held in the Driftwood Key Clubhouse, Hansville, WA. These meetings include a welcome from the president, introduction of new members and visitors, fishing reports from our members, Legacy Project updates, and a speaker sharing fishing experiences, tools and equipment or educational programs on sustainability, research, environment, or other topics related to fishing or sustainability. Our in person meetings include an optional social hour starting at 6:00 pm where $10 will get you a hearty and tasty dinner. We also have a raffle with the opportunity to win some great prizes. And plenty of time to socialize with fellow anglers and neighbors!

Our Annual Dues is $35 for a household (spouse/significant other & children). This money is used to support our various club and community activities. A small portion of the dues goes to the Puget Sound Anglers State Chapter, our parent club, focused on ensuring sustainability and representation of anglers and fight to protect access and keep recreational fishing open on all waters of the state.

Additional member benefits include periodic emails about fishing and sustainability issues, timely fishing reports - what is open, where and when they are biting, what they are biting on, how big, and photos, boats and fishing items for sale from other members, invites to join fishing charters/trips, etc.
