The Homer Spit Fishing Lagoon will be open to snagging
noon, Wednesday, June 29 through midnight, Monday, July 4
In order to help anglers harvest the remainder of the hatchery-produced king salmon, snagging will be permitted in the Homer Spit Enhancement Lagoon area beginning at noon on Wednesday, June 29, through 11:59 p.m., Monday, July 4.
All other regulations pertaining to this fishery remain in effect. These include the daily bag limit of two king salmon of any size. Because there is an annual limit of five king salmon 20 inches or longer, after harvesting a king salmon 20 inches or longer, the harvest must be recorded, in ink, immediately on the back of the license or on a harvest record card. A harvested fish counts toward the bag limit of the person originally hooking it.
After July 4, the Homer Lagoon will again be closed to snagging.
