Chum Salmon
Homer, Alaska, offers a unique chance to intercept Chum salmon as they return to spawn. While perhaps not as celebrated as other salmon species, Chum salmon fishing near Homer can be fast-paced and rewarding. The peak season typically occurs in July and August when large schools of Chum salmon congregate in Kachemak Bay and near the mouths of local streams. These fish are aggressive and readily take lures and flies. Focus your efforts near stream mouths and along beaches where the salmon are staging. Brightly colored spinners, spoons, and streamer patterns are often effective. A key to success is covering water and locating the schools of fish. Several charter operators in Homer specialize in salmon fishing, offering a convenient way to access productive areas. Remember to check the Alaska Department of Fish and Game regulations for specific gear restrictions and bag limits.
