June 7th – 11th, 2017 | Haida Gwaii, BC

Next week marks the beginning of North America’s largest cash jackpot for a salmon derby. Westcoast Resort’s 15th annual Salmon Masters Tournament in Haida Gwaii has 47 teams of anglers from all over competing for a total of $268,000 in cash prizes! The Salmon Masters isn’t only a world-class tournament, however. To date, Westcoast Resorts has donated over $800,000 to the Pacific Salmon Foundation.

PEETZ is dedicating 1 of 6 of this year’s Artist Proof reels to the Salmon Masters Tournament auction – handcarved, numbered and signed by renowned Kwagiulth artist Jason Henry Hunt. We are proud to report last year’s AP reels raised between $2,500-$6,000 each for salmon conservation. This year,PEETZ and Mr. Hunt are dedicating another 6 of these beautiful reels with the 2017 Chain of Life design, “Bear & Salmon”.
