fly fishing for fatty dollies, casting for King Salmon, digging steamer
clams, or snagging and dip netting Red Salmon, Kachemak Bay and Homer,
Alaska are a delight to the sportsman! As we are avid sport fishermen
ourselves, we know when and where to go for hot fishing! Not only will
we take you there, we'll offer advice on how to hook up! Below you will
find descriptions of four fisheries Kachemak Bay has to offer, information
on clam digging, and links to tide, weather, and fisheries information.
Navigation to the fishing areas mentioned below is tricky and in some
cases can only take place at or around high tide. So why not leave it
to the experts? Allow Smoke Wagon Water Taxi to provide your transportation.
Call us and we'll help you plan your fishing trip. |
Halibut Cove Limit of Kings |
|
38 lb halibut cove lagoon king |
Halibut Cove Lagoon: King Salmon fishing is good in Halibut Cove Lagoon between May 25th and June 20th. The fishing grounds are just 25 minutes from the Homer harbor and there is great camping available there. We've had success casting lures at passing schools, using salmon eggs, and fishing with herring. The size of the Kings range from 5 to 40 pounds.

| Humpy
Creek: Humpy Creek has a run of Chum
Salmon, Pink Salmon, and Dolly Vardon. Fishing is good at Humpy between
July 10th and August 20th. It is a pristine, crystal clear stream, which
can be successfully fished with a pair of hip or chest waders. Humpy
Creek offers an excellent opportunity for fly and light tackle spinning
rod fishing. Humpy Creek is just 25 minutes from the Homer harbor, but
it is not heavily fished. Visitors to Humpy are always in awe of its
beauty and return with stories of multiple hook-ups. |
Fun at Humpy Creek |
| China Poot Bay: During the month of July, red fishing is great at China Poot Creek. Alaska residents are allowed to dip net for them in the creek and non-residents may snag them below the mouth of the stream. Either way it is not difficult to catch your limit. |
Tutka Lagoon: Tutka Lagoon is fun fishing for the whole family! This is strictly a Pink Salmon fishery. It's a lot of fun as Pinks really love to bite. There's a great campsite right by the shore of the lagoon. Visitors can set up there and fish from shore. Fishermen have been very successful casting lures and fly fishing. Tutka Lagoon is only navigable right around high tide. |
Clam
digging: China
Poot is our preference for clam digging. We'll take you there. All you
need are warm cloths, rain pants, rubber boots, digging tools, and a
bucket for your clams. Use the tide tables link below to select a good
tide for clam digging. In order to have adequate time, you want at least
a minus 1.0 foot low tide. |
