Some larger migratory salmon have also been landed further in as the there have been large quantities of rich resources of bait fish found around Swale Rock, Pill Point and Diplock. The larger salmon have been on the surf line and have been in locations such as Sail Rock, Austin-Cree, Beale, Edward King, and Kirby Point. Chinook and Coho fishing in the Inlet historically gets underway between the tenth and fifteenth of August.īarkley Sound fishing has been very active for large amounts of feeder Chinook and there have been plenty on Coho in the five-to-seven-pound range in most locations. We are hoping the sport Sockeye fishing will continue to late July. The key to the fishing is keeping everything close to the boat and having extra dummy flashers which creates plenty of color attracting the salmon toward one’s lures. The Sockeye are in relatively big schools in the inlet and they are still hitting the shorter sixteen-to-twenty-inch leaders with either a pink and blue or pink and black mp hootchie or just “black hooks” behind a variety of different colored flashers. Hopefully with some extra water flow out of the lakes the Somass River will have some cooler water so that the fish are able to migrate through the fish counters and into either Sproat or Great Central Lake where they will remain until the spawning season begins in the fall. With very warm temperatures and lack of any precipitation the salmon have moved to deeper water and seem to be anywhere from seventy to one hundred feet down. The limit per day remains at four with a two-day total retention limit of eight. Many avid anglers have now enjoyed well over five weeks of sport Sockeye Salmon fishing in the Alberni Inlet. The salmon fishing in this area has continued to be “fantastic”.
