After the turmoil that almost took the Roche Harbor Salmon Classic off the calendar, it seems only fitting there were plenty of fish and smiling faces. Here’s the report from Debbie Sandwith of Roche Harbor:

Was a sold out Event this year by Dec.19th ~ with another HOT season of fishing going on here in the San Juan Islands. We weighed in a totalof 147 Fish in 2 days!!
