Just came through Port Alberni on Monday any returning fish don't have a chance as the entire river is netted. How does this make sense for conservation if we all can't fish let's make it all of us.

no putting the lid back on that can of worms, it might take all sectors to say fk it and just go fishing to change, but that won't happen with the west coast CDN mentality
FYI..When I launched their last week, 1 boat had stung across while of river, had to move their net down by mill to let me exit the river..all others were up in the shallows
Well,I can tell you right now (unfortunately) that subject is brought up every year and nothing is going to change-it’s all politics.
Common sense is not part of the equation.

Hi, I'm planning to go to port alberni and fish the 20th ofJune. I've never been and debating on staying at poets nook or macktush. Any suggestions on areas to fish for sockeye. Looking forward to cross this on off the list!

Conservation is not a factor in this fishery until it collapses

If you are focusing strictly on sockeye, Macktush would be the better bet as you are right next to the fishing spots. Depending on run size and timing, they can be right out front of the campsite, up around the point in Hook Bay and Nahmint Bay. More folks seem to focus on the narrows and east, down towards Underwood and China Creek. Anywhere and everywhere right in that zone would work great (if the fish are there).

You got it! That's the way it is in Clayoquot sound now, the FN's are trying to get sport fishing banned. They even tried to make the guides pay a per person and/or per season surcharge payable to the band. Some chicken poop guides even paid......ffs!

Awesome info thanks! I'm planning on focusing on sockeye but if it is slow will there be chinook or coho running the same time there to?

June 20 or thereabouts, no, not really. If you want to target them that early, hang a right and continue up the inlet towards Pill Point and that should put you into some of those coho and chinook. About 30 mins from Macktush by boat, give or take.

That's pretty early to have consistent fishing far in the sound. Any size to the spring yet?
