The Homer Chamber of Commerce and the Winter King Salmo Tournament Committee regularly consult with our area biologists to ensure this one-day tournament does not have a negative impact on the native Lower Cook Inlet king salmon population. Please review this statement about WINTER KING SALMON IN KACHEMAK BAY to better understand this fishery.

The Event Area is moving this year to an area on the west side of the Harbor called the Deep Water Dock, just south of the Harbormasters Office.  Using the Outer Dock Road, you can drive down to the event area to offload your fish to be weighed, then continue on to the parking area.  You can view a map of this area using the link on the right side of this page.

There will also be a shuttle bus with pickup and dropoff stops at The Salty Dog, The Chamber's Derby Shack, next to the Boat Lauch Parking Lot then down to the event area.
