Port Alberni - Sockeye Salmon

Talked with one of the Canadian customers this afternoon from Port Alberni and he mentions that the sockeye fishing was very good at the present time. He was out this AM and landed seven in just an hour and a half. The fish are a little on the small side, weighing just 4-5 pounds on average. What they lack in size they do make up for on the table.

Trolling shallow (15 - 20 feet) and slow with a 224 UV mini hoochie behind a red Hot Spot on a short 18 - 20 inch leader was the secret to success.

The China Creek area of Port Alberni Inlet is a good place to focus a start.

Limit is still set at just two a day per person at the present time.
