COASTAL FISHING

Fishing Port Alberni’s Variety of Ocean Species

Fiord-like inlet offers protection and unique

Port Alberni sits on the west coast of Vancouver Island, and while it faces the vast expanses of the open Pacific Ocean, its location on a grid-like inlet affords tremendous protection. As a result, fishing for salmon here is often done on calmer waters. As well, there are interesting opportunities to catch prawn and shrimp, a great daily bonus to be had on top of a catch of salmon. Like most coastal destinations, Port Alberni is a scenic wonder. Mountains meet rainforest and ocean in spectacular fashion, providing visitors with natural connections that enrich the experience, and make trips memorable.
