Marc Belanger

Member since November 2023 Campbell River, Canada
Background
The passion to fish. I have been fishing since I was a little boy with my father. Over the years I've fished freshwater and saltwater from the shoreline and from boats in Canada and USA. I'm now retired from my career in aviation and welcome both novice and seasoned anglers to fish for 5 species of migrating salmon in the Discovery Passage of British Columbia's Pacific Playground. In the past decade, I’ve specialized as a saltwater salmon captain/guide and "coach" on Canada’s Pacific West Coast for both charities and charter guests.
