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.
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.
