and steelhead fishing in the
nearby rivers and lakes.

All in all a fabulous holiday,
and it even includes processing
the salmon you have caught just
before you head for the airport to
catch your PWA luxury filght
back home.

Directly to the west of Camp-
bell River is the Forbidden
Plateau which is adjacent to
Strathcona Provincial Park. It is
a fresh water fisherman's
paradise. It has high mountain
peaks and towering fir forests.

There are some fine fly fishing
rivers for trout, Rainbow and
Cutthroat and Steelhead. There
is Campbell River, noted by the
famed author, fisherman, con-

spinners

new spoon that is catching the
fish like crazy. Chances are it has
been tried before, about 5,000
years ago.

Russian archeologists in the
Soviet Far East have found shiny
stone plates apparently used as.
fishing spinners about 5,000 years
ago, They tried them out with
their own tackle and they caught
as many fish as the present day
lures, ;

The spoons were made of the
semi-precious stone nephrite,
The spinners, or spoons, had two
holes in them, one at each end,
The line was tied to one hole {no
silap-on swivel was found), and a
bone hook was fastened to the
other hole. .

So-you’re thinking of using'a™

servationist and jurist Roderick
Haig-Brown, who lives beside the
river.

Then there is the Gold and
Oyster Rivers and many streams
full of trout the year round.
Steelhead only run from
December to late April.

And there are countless lakes,
the better known are Buttle, with
trout to 7 pounds and Lower and
Upper Campbell, which produce
excellent fishing.

But most of the vacationists
are out after salmon. There are
the Bluebacks (immature Cohos)
from May to July. The Coho from
July to October. Then there are
the Springs (Chinooks) that run
from April to September and are
followed by the Winter Springs.

And the biggest and most
fighting fish of them all, the
Tyee. it’s actually a Chinook
salmon that has spent five years
at sea and is larger than a
Chinook. In fact a salmon has to
be over 30 pounds before it is
called a Tyee at Campbell River.
They run from July through
September. :

Tyee is actually an Indian word
meaning chief. There are scores
of them caught every week in the
Campbell River area when they
are running.

The fisherman might have a 16-
foot runabout with an outboard,
the usual salmon tackle, a
herring strip for bait and
probably a 30 pound test line,

But the salmon he catches,
even if itis over 30 pounds, is not
eligible for recognition in the
Tyee Club.

Under the Tyee Club rules
salmon fishing becomes an
exacting sport, The Tyee must be
fished from a wooden rowboat no
longer than 14 feet. (Veteran
fishermen will remember them
as the “Clinker built” boats with

a ledge overlap to break heavy ©
seas.) , .

A three horsepower outboard
can be used to get you to and
from the fishing grounds. Actual
trolling must be done by rowing.

No live bait is allowed, only
artificial lures, ‘and the
preference in these are a plug or
a large wobbling spoon.

Once you have hooked into a
Tyee it can take you anywhere
from 36 minutes to two hours to
land the huge fish. A large net,:
rather than a gaff is used to boat
the salmon. Reason being the fish
might lose a few ounces of blood
Which might just put it under the .
Tyee mark of 30 pounds.

Which brings up the types and
classes of buttons the Tyee Club
issues for salmon caught under
club regulations. ;

There is a round button for
Tyees caught on light tackle with
line not exceeding a 30-pound test
{very rigorously tested before
the angler starts out. And there is
adiamond-shaped button for fish’
caught on tackle not exceeding
20-pound test,

The weight of the Tyee also
designates the class of the but-
ton. A bronze button for fish 36,
pounds and up; silver for 40
pounds and up; gold for 50
pounds and up: diamond for 60
pounds and up; and then comes
the ruby for any Tyee 70 pounds
or aver,

So far there have been two
ruby buttens awarded, one in
1947 for a 70% pounder and the
other in 1968 for a 7i-pound Tyee.

There are also other special
buttons such as “Tyee Man of the
Year”, for the largest fish;
“Tackle Champion, for the
biggest on extra-light tackle; the
“Daily Double’ for the two
biggest of the day and a special
Ladies Championship. .
