- 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.

_ Tyeeis 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 al6-—

the usual salmon tackle, a
-herring -strip--for -bait» and

: probably a 30 pound test: line.

But the -salmon’ he: catches,

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

Sg mete 2 On fe ee Sn Seer
: ‘even ir it: is OVEr “vu pounds; IS noes

-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 30 minutes te two hours to
land the huge fish. A large net,
rather thana 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
a diamond-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 30 ,
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. over.

So far there. have been : two
ruby buttons awarded, one in

“nA 7-fore ALL masse clan wmeltha
1947: LOD a ey72" pounacr- arnas wie

other in 1968 for a 71-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 anda A special”
Ladies S Championship. :

And. while the. Tyees. don’t
usually. start running until July
there -are plenty of large
Chinooks in June and also Cohos.
- The Cohos are the real gymnasts
of the sea: They jump, swirl in
circles, tail-walk and. generally

give the fisherman — ‘‘fish
palpitations.”

A light sea rod with a 15-20
pound monafilament line trolling
a bucktail streamer, about one
ounce of weight, will provide
plenty of action if you tie into a
Coho.

They do not go much over 18

pounds although the record.,.

caught in 1947, is 36 pounds. The

Northern Coho running in. the
fail, can run.15 - 20 pounds. On
light tackle, that can be fun. ©

You can leave it up to your
guide to find the best fishing
holes for you. The Campbell
River area, from the narrow
Seymour narrows, through
Discovery. Passage to the Strait
of Georgia in the south, is the
“freeway” for salmon travelling
down the. coast.

The. tremendous. sweep of
waters through -this narrow
passage creates eddies or pools,
and that’s where the. action is.
Your guide will tip you off.to the .
April: Point pools, Copper Bluff
Pool; Lighthouse Pool, and the
intriguing one, Row-And-Be-
Damned Pool, named long before
outboard motors were a: part: of
sport salmon fishing.
