2025 Port Alberni and Alberni Inlet Reports
- Thread starter Admin
- Start date
Headed to China Creek for the weekend on Thursday night. Reports have been slow and I don't see a lot of boats on the Webcam? Socks will be the main target, but is there any point in bringing the gear for anything else, if we don't intend to make the run to the Sound?

What reports? Very few on here compared to most years. I'm trying to decide whether to stop on Thursday early before heading to Ukee.
I don't think there will be much for other salmon species yet.
Yeah that's what I meant, not a lot of reports lately

Been spotty for some decent for others, with the warm then cold weather fish haven’t seemed to be schooling up a lot yet but hopefully with this hot streak coming through should help things. There is also a seine fishier that just happened and a 2 day gillnet fishery starting July 1st over night and again on July 2, see how that affects things, we will be out again tomorrow

My Friends were fishing, last weekend. Very few fish caught. Seines started Sunday finished on Tuesday and gill nets were in Wed. Not much around after the net fleets are in.

A bunch of us locals keep in touch.
Let's just say that the overall trend so far this year is SLOW fishing.
Hoping that changes tomorrow morning!

Seines are were inside, gillnets are shallow and fish laugh at them sometimes. I found it very good this morning. Lots of action if you can get them following. 4 for about 12- done by 7:15.
I fished away from the pack.so I could drive like a drunk: perpendicular to shore, big circles,, zig zag, change throttle, but mostly 1.9-2.2 mph
3 dummies with 2 rods above on each side.Balls were about 55, but hootchies were at 28/34, 31/37. All got hits, but mb in bubblegum with glow blue head was best.

They seined right down to pochohantis for a couple of days. This picture was taken in front of the cabin, South of Nahmint

SLOW still.
5/5 this morning, first one was a jack (we kept it in case it was all we would catch lol).
Only saw the odd one caught, although there was a Skagit style boat with a red stripe that appeared to be having more success.
My best guess is that they simply aren't there in numbers at the moment.

We put 5 in the cooler this morning, a couple decent ones and a couple on the smaller side. Probably lost about the same. 3 came pretty much all at once. Still experimenting as to what colors and depths, but we were running green and red flashers this morning with the standard orange, pink or red squirts. Dummy flasher and two stacked rods per side.
