Decisions After Retaining a Chinook

ATTENTION

The Tyee Club of B.C. would like to remind our members and anglers that the current DFO regulation allows for the retention of one chinook per angler per day and that the licence of the successful angler must be filled out at the time the fish is retained. In the event of continuing to fish after retaining a fish, the angler would have to make one of the following decisions if another chinook was caught:

  1. Release a potentially large tyee in good condition
  2. Release a potentially large tyee in poor or expired condition
  3. Hand off a rod with a fish on to another angler, resulting in Club disqualification of the fish
  4. Illegally putting one of the fish on another anglers licence

The Tyee Club of B.C. is a model of self-regulation. It strives to set rules and standards that are above minimum regulations. We respectfully ask everyone to follow DFO regulations and make ethical decisions when determining whether to release or retain a fish, and whether it is appropriate to continue fishing if you have retained a fish.
