What We Do
Our Purposes
The purposes of the San Francisco Tyee Club are:
-
To promote interest in angling for one of the greatest fishes that swims—the King Salmon, (Tyee).
-
To promote the ideals of sportsmanship as distinguished from the promiscuous taking of fish.
-
To preserve, for ourselves and our posterity, the continuity of the salmon.
-
To cooperate with the Department of Fish and Game of the State of California to better enforce the laws in effect.
-
To standardize fishing tackle.
-
To properly authenticate and record the weights and measurements of fish taken on registered tackle from waters within the jurisdiction of the Club.
-
And last, to discourage angling that is not in accord with good sportsmanship.
Sponsorships & Donations
The San Francisco Tyee Club sponsors youth programs that introduce kids to recreational fishing and the traditions of Ocean and rivers. We also support organizations dedicated to enhancing, protecting, and preserving the salmon industry, ensuring healthy fisheries and a vibrant future for generations to come.
Social Events
Beyond fishing, the San Francisco Tyee Club hosts a variety of social gatherings that bring our members together. From our popular annual crab feeds to monthly get-togethers, these events strengthen friendships, celebrate our shared traditions, and create lasting memories both on and off the water.
Friendly Competition
At the San Francisco Tyee Club, competition is all about camaraderie and fun. Members enjoy sharing stories of their biggest catches, comparing notes on fishing adventures, and celebrating each other’s successes. It’s less about prizes and more about the joy of fishing and the friendships built along the way.
