CLUBHOUSE COMMITTEE

Dear Tyee Club members, anglers and visitors,

The 2025 Tyee Club season sees the club enter its 102nd year of existence. Fishing practices may
have changed over the years but the traditional ways of fishing for large chinook in 1924 when the
Tyee Club was founded have not. This is the allure that keeps long time members as well as anglers
(non members) returning to the fishing grounds off the mouth of the Campbell River every year in
search of a chinook weighing 30 pounds or more.

Long time tenants of the clubhouse, Bob and Judy Goodwin, always have the grounds in meticulous
condition with the lawn being lush and the gardens being full of a mix of vibrant colours.

The Tyee Club clubhouse has been a popular gathering place for many to have a coffee and tell
stories, renew old friendships or for some, to sit quietly on the beach and watch the activity on
the water. The Clubhouse was totally rebuilt in 2022 as the existing building needed upgrading
after years of exposure to the weather in its exposed location. One addition to the clubhouse was
the additional washroom that helped minimize congestion in the clubhouse and free up more living
space.

Tyee Club trophies are on display at the clubhouse during the season. Many pictures from recent
years as well as historic catches from decades ago that help showcase the history and personalities
of the club are also present. The public is welcome to visit the Clubhouse during the fishing season
and get a feel for the history of the Tyee Club.

Raffle tickets are available for purchase at the clubhouse for this years three main prizes. Club
clothing and other memorabilia are also on sale.

If registering at the clubhouse or paying wharf fees, please use the window on the north side of
the building.

The largest gathering of the year at the clubhouse is usually the last night of the season which is
September 15. Raffle prize winners and a few small tables of donated tackle and merchandise are
awarded to raffle winners. The long time tradition of one ringing of the bell officially ends the
fishing season.
