Port Alberni in Sept

[Daveroo]

I might be heading to the port Alberni area in the third week of September for a few days, and there

is an opportunity for a few of us to go out fishing in the mornings. I am thinking of trailering my

boat over from the Lower Maninland. Is there much salmon left in the Canal at that time? I know

people go for socks earlier in the year and there are springs there now, but I was wondering is

there a coho run in the Canal? If so would they be in the Canal in September? Anyone have any

suggestions about the best places to fish in the Canal that late n the month?

The canal is pretty well slow by then (imo....I could be wrong - other opinions?), I live in Port but spend most of my time in Ukee. Ukee is your better bet if you have more time. If you run down the canal to Barkley Sound, you might get the odd coho (or spring).
