Sockeye are the bright red fish (salmon) that so many tourists travel to see in the various rivers, streams, and creeks in British Columbia to watch them in nature to spawn.     

Sockeye Sportfishing has become very lucrative in the Alberni Valley over the past 20 years.  Today sockeye salmon support one of the most important commercial fisheries on the Pacific Coast and is increasingly sought by recreational fisheries.
