West of the Mississippi
Tyee Salmon Fishing is truly a unique, west
coast experience. Tyee salmon are spring or chinook salmon
weighing in at over 30lbs. Campbell River is the Salmon and
Tyee Capital of the world.
Now landing one of these
may seem like enough of a challenge, but it's only just
beginning. Tyee fishing is steeped in tradition. To qualify
the Tyee must be caught from a rowed boat, on a single
barbless hook, using a 20 pound line with either a plug or a
spoon.
No bait is allowed and the guide cannot help
in any way except to net the Tyee once you get it to the
boat.
Your guide, will row you through the Tyee pools
at the mouth of the Campbell River in a Hilmark Tyee
Rowboat. with just the sound of the oars, the whirl of your
reel, and words of encouragement from your guide.
And if you happen to get that strike, it will be up to you
to land your prize in the boat. And remember, if it's over
30lbs, you have landed a Tyee salmon. If it is a Tyee
salmon, caught in these traditional methods, you will now
have membership in the renowned Tyee Club of British
Columbia.
The Tyee Club of British Columbia - In the
summer of 1924, three angler buddies were in the Willows
Hotel in Campbell River and came up with the idea of forming
a club to honour, celebrate, and protect the Tyee Salmon and
standardize the sport of salmon fishing in BC. They modeled
their idea along the lines of the famous Tuna Club of
Catalina Island in California.
Today, the membership
roster is truly impressive. Hilford was rowed into the Tyee
Club of BC on September 12, 2003, with a 38 1/2 pound Tyee
salmon by Roy Grant Council man and Mayor of Campbell River.
And you could have the opportunity of your name included
into the membership as well.
(Note: the fishing trip
is for one person , fishing, hotels, accommodations, meals,
and travel are the responsibility of the winner. Extra guest
are welcome but at the expense of that person. |
