Tyee Club of BC

About

Founded in 1924 by a group of anglers who returned to Campbell River each year in pursuit of the elusive "Tyee" - a Chinook salmon, 30 pounds or larger.

Story

The First Nations people had fished for Tyee for unknown ages prior to the coming of Europeans. They used several methods including spears and hand lines, from dugout canoes, as well as traps. They were adept at catching fish as well as being truly conservationist in practice. The first white men who fished here expressed great admiration for their skill.

In the summer of 1924, a few fishermen gathered in the Willows Hotel in Campbell River and decided to organize a club called The Tyee Club of British Columbia.

To be a member of our club, you need to earn the privilege by catching a Chinook Salmon 30 pounds or larger during the Tyee fishing season in Campbell River, BC.

I've gone a couple times Tyee fishing here and its been a great evening every time. I have yet to catch a big though but would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to have a good night of rowing in the old row boats (motor boats aren't allowed in the pool). It's also a perfect spot to stop and have lunch when in Campbell River or to watch the cruise ships go by.

Tyee fishing in Campbell River's Tyee Pool should be a bucket list experience for everyone! This is a 5 star experience! The Club has deep heritage, and high respect for the salmon. You fish from a rowboat with limited tackle in the hopes of hooking up with a Chinook salmon for the fight of a lifetime. The rowing experience itself is highly rewarding and for those that catch a salmon - there are smiles all around!
