FISHING REPORT: ALBERNI INLET----SPORT SOCKEYE FISHERY VERY GOOD June 26th 2015 Doug Lindores Sliver Charters Salmon Sport Fishing
The Sport Sockeye Fishery in the Alberni Inlet is currently very good. Due to very low and warm water in the Somass River and also the warm air temperatures the Sockeye salmon which are returning in an abundant number are schooling in very large numbers out in the Alberni Inlet. The Sockeye are schooling from Cous Creek out to the Nahmint Franklin area. The projected outlook for Sockeye returns is seven hundred to nine hundred thousand. These fish migrate into the river and then into Sproat and Great Central Lakes. Projected migration into the lakes should be close to three hundred and fifty thousand. To Date only sixty thousand Sockeye have gone through the fish ways.
The Sockeye are currently sitting in fifty to eighty feet of water. They are hitting short leaders from twenty to twenty-four inches in length behind various flashers. The mp2, mp15, pink and blue, pink and black, and the pink with either the gren or white head hootchies all seem to be working the best. Sockeye are attracted to the boat by color. Many sport fishermen will often have eight flashers behind their boat. The Sockeye are averaging four to eight pounds. They are the number one commercial salmon. They are wonderful on the bbq and when vacuum packed properly last the winter for those special occasions.
Sockeye fishing is a wonderful fishing opportunity for the whole family. It is a fun fishery for young and older. Don’t miss out on this opportunity in the Alberni Inlet.
