What we're about!
We are the Whidbey Island Puget Sound Anglers, committed to preserving fisheries, enhancing habitat, and offering scholarships for aspiring environmental students focused on Salmon Recovery. Though not the first group on Whidbey Island, we strive to make it the best, hosting monthly speakers on opportunities, regulation changes (WDFW), and advocating for more time on the water!

Our Mission
We're a new chapter of passionate anglers, and we'd love for you to be part of our growing community! Join us at the American Legion every first Wednesday of the month at 6:30 PM. Together, we can make a difference in preserving salmon fishing opportunities. Your involvement is key—without you, there is no us. Let's work together for a stronger, more connected fishing community!
