Fly fishing the Kanektok River for Chum Salmon

Chum or dog salmon – the name just doesn’t do any justice to the shear muscle and fight these fish have on the end of your line. Good solid runs, jumps, and many death rolls will leave you saying – wow is this a chum or silver? Chums on the Kanektok are power packed fighters and since we are fishing for them only a mile from tide water, it’s like no other chum you’ve seen before. These chrome bright fighting machines have left many speechless when their rods are fully bent and drag is peeling out. Chums can be taken on a variety of different techniques including using mouse patterns for some awesome top water action! Point blank – chums are fun, aggressive to the fly, and are a great sport fish to catch. The end of June and the entire month of July are a great time to fish for chums along with, king salmon, leopard rainbows, dolly varden, and arctic char.
