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.

Brie and Barrel - Sharie Minions

Brie and Barrel

Brie & Barrel was inspired by a small wine bar in Sidney BC. Owner's Sharie & Colin Minions had a dream to create an elegant restaurant featuring quality wines, local craft beer, and unique flavourful dishes utilizing local ingredients wherever possible.

 

The space was quickly chosen and work began. Since the start, Brie & Barrel has prided itself on an always changing menu to an ever growing wine list featuring the best of local and international small wineries. Brie & Barrel always has something new and exciting to try.

 

With our most recent change, Brie & Barrel is excited to now be home to a beautiful new luxurious covered patio space and a stunning garden section covered in wisteria vines. Each table equipped with it's own personal table-top fire to enhance your dining experience, we are so proud of the space we've created at Brie & Barrel.
