What We Do

​

Our Purposes

The purposes of the San Francisco Tyee Club are:

  1. To promote interest in angling for one of the greatest fishes that swims—the King Salmon, (Tyee).

  2. To promote the ideals of sportsmanship as distinguished from the promiscuous taking of fish.

  3. To preserve, for ourselves and our posterity, the continuity of the salmon.

  4. To cooperate with the Department of Fish and Game of the State of California to better enforce the laws in effect.

  5. To standardize fishing tackle.

  6. To properly authenticate and record the weights and measurements of fish taken on registered tackle from waters within the jurisdiction of the Club.

  7. And last, to discourage angling that is not in accord with good sportsmanship.
