" TYEE " FISHING 

 for tyee. Goho salmon are met with practically anywhere up and down 

 the coast, at the right season of the year. They vary in size from three to 

 ten pounds. With light tackle they give great sport, and they take all kinds 

 of spoons freely, preferring one that spins quickly, the wires used being 

 much smaller than those with which tyee are caught. In my own opinion, 

 the most important factors of success in both tyee and coho fishing is that 

 your spoon shall spin slowly and truly as well as being well polished. 

 Another point to be marked is not to let your boatman row too quickly. 



The British Columbian Government, a few years ago, introduced 

 Atlantic salmon, and a few have been caught on the fly: it will be most 

 interesting to see whether they attain large weights. At any rate, I trust 

 they will have better luck than the Atlantic lobsters which were turned 

 out a few years back, with their claws still tied up, and, thus handicapped, 

 did not establish themselves! 



Trolling is always dull work unless plenty of fish are caught. A tyee, 

 however, when hooked, is well worth the trouble you have bestowed 

 upon him. There is also an undoubted satisfaction in landing a sixty- 

 pound fish; if these salmon would only take a fly, it would be a fisherman's 

 idea of Paradise. I shall only add that I hope that any British anglers going 

 out there to try their luck will be as fortunate as I have been.
