Port
Alberni Inlet, Barkley Sound, Ucluelet (West Coast)
Somas-Stamp River
System. The fishing in the area is beginning to pickup in saltwater
areas. Fresh water fishing in the Somass-Stamp River has been
generally slow over the last month. During the last week guides have
been averaging three Steelhead per day. Barkley Sound has picked up
with some good days of Winter Chinook fishing. Ucluelet unlike
Barkley Sound has been difficult to fish as the weather systems have
made the water a bit difficult for fishing. There have been some
good days however between weather systems. Areas close to the beach
and close to the mouth of the Ucluelet Harbor have reported a few
winter Chinook... 18

Klickitat Guided Salmon and Steelhead Trips
The Klickitat is a free flowing glacier (no dams)
river that flows off the east flanks of Washington States
south central cascade range Mt Adams. This is a drift boat
only river. Our guide service holds the only fishing guide use
permit on the wild and scenic section of the Klickitat. These
salmon and steelhead are hard fighting and fresh from the
ocean.12 February 2008
Port
Alberni Inlet, Barkley Sound, Ucluelet (West Coast)
Somas-Stamp River
System. We are in the
midst of winter and like most winters the fishing is as one could
expect. The fishing off the west coast can have the odd break in
weather but often weather fronts create problems with wind, which
leads to the problem of ones ability to fish. Barkley Sound has had
some fishable days and there has been some winter Chinook fishing in
areas. The Winter Steelhead fishing has been slower over the last
week although this past Saturday and Sunday afternoons some nice
bright fish were picked up by guests with river guides. 11

Port
Alberni Inlet, Barkley Sound, Ucluelet (West Coast),
Somas-Stamp River
System. Winter is closing
in and the last couple of weeks have shown signs that cooler and
shorter days are closing in. Most of the fishing opportunity in the
Port Alberni and Ucluelet sport fishing area has been on the
Somas-Stamp River System. The area of Barkley Sound and Bamfield and
of course Ucluelet has had some feeder spring (winter) fishing.
These areas will get only better as bait moves in during the course
of the winter and early spring. 05 December 2007
Port
Alberni Inlet, Barkley Sound, Ucluelet (West Coast),
Somas-Stamp River
System. The Salmon Season
in the area has pretty well come to an end. All fishing for any
migrating salmon off of Ucluelet and the surflline of Barkley sound
is all but over. The feeder spring fishing in these two areas is
picking up as it often does at this time of year. 30 October 2007
Port
Alberni Inlet, Barkley Sound, Ucluelet (West Coast),
Somas-Stamp River
System. Plenty of salmon
are entering
the lower river daily but the high water has made it difficult
to
fish during the past few days. If the weather clears for a number
of days
the river will fall to better fishing levels.
