2025 Port Alberni and Alberni Inlet Reports

[Admin]

Sorry, my bad. I was just responding to a question posed. I'll try not to do it again.

All good. The conversation and intention on most of these subjects is valid, it just starts to dominate the thread sometimes, when people are looking for information on fishing conditions and opportunities.

I was out today and only saw two fish caught. Didn’t get a sniff. Not unusual for me though, pretty sure my boat stinks.

This was sent to me

How’s sockeye fishing at china creek last couple days? Heading there on weekend hoping to get a few.

You know the saying: ‘10% of the people catch 90% of the fish’, I’m part of the 90%. So I wouldn’t take my word, but for me it is slow.

Out here now. 1 for 2 at slide. 40/50'

Ended up with 8 by 9:30. No one around us at all. Heard they were getting fish at Cous.

Cous was firing today. Decent schools on the sounder, saw lots of fish caught. Had limited time, but got my one person limit before work, finally felt like sockeye season, but I'll only believe it if it stays this way for more than a few days.

Looks like somethings going on at China Creek? Looks fishy?

Does anyone have any good news?

 

[DMCK]

We got 8 by about 9. My buddies got 10 and 7. Looks like it's picking up 4 yesterday. 8 day before
Most boats by Dunsmuir / Cous. We went by slide again. Didn't have much luck yesterday at Cous.

Thanks DMCK, I'm going to dust off the Sockeye gear and hit the Channel.

Talking to friends, a couple of days after commercials were stopped, the Inlet refilled with fish, and it went wide open with easy, early morning limits. Big fish (9-10 lbs) mixed in with the norm. Fishing is good. jc
