Reeling Memories Sport Fishing

You can enjoy some superb fishing action around Port Alberni in winter. Feeder Chinook are bustling about in Barkley Sound, while the winter Steelhead are giving fly fishermen a run for their money in the rivers.

You're not likely to head offshore anytime soon, but the protected waters of Barkley Sound are full of promise. Chinook, Crab, and Steelhead continue to be the main source of action around here.

Anglers are eager to get out on the water as average temperatures start creeping as high as 51°F. Some years, Halibut season may be open by now. Even if it's not, there's plenty of Chinook to keep you preoccupied.

If you're tired of Chinook and Steelhead (as if that's possible!) you'll be glad to know that the lakes are crowded with Rainbow Trout by now. Bide some time there until the summer Salmon run kicks in.&nbsp;

The Sockeye will be storming Alberni Inlet soon, just make sure the fishing season is open. Halibut are entering their peak on the outskirts of Barkley Sound, where summer Chinook are also starting to appear.

Port Alberni's Sockeye run is in full swing by now, while Coho and summer Chinook are coming in right behind them. Expect the inlet to be crowded with fishermen and thousands of these fish!&nbsp;

July is one of the best times to fish in Alberni Inlet, with no shortage of Salmon in sight. If the weather has been cooler lately, try fishing the rivers for some explosive light tackle and fly action.

This is one of the busiest months in the inlet. Pink Salmon will be joining the party by mid-August, while preparations for the annual Port Alberni Salmon Festival get under way.

Anglers can hook into all 5 Pacific Salmon species while fishing the inlet in fall. Offshore, there's no shortage of Halibut and Lingcod. Labor Day marks the local Tyee Derby, one of the largest in British Columbia.

You can hook into the last of the trophy Chinook and Coho during October, or fish the rivers for Salmon and Steelhead. Average temperatures might still soar as high as 58°F on some days.

The last of the migrating Salmon will be passing through the inlet at this time of year. Fly fishermen are heading to the rivers to catch the Steelhead run while anglers in the sound are bottom fishing.

There's still great fishing to be had here in Port Alberni, but weather can pose complications. On a good day, you can have great success fishing for Crab, Halibut, and winter Chinook in the sound.&nbsp;
