The Campbell River guides have been targeting chums for some time now. They tend to favor a hotshot flasher and pink hoochie. Success is sporadic. Some days they slay them other can be tough.

As KJ said the herring under a float can be dynamite. I find chums are the most fickle of all salmon. I fish them in the Harrison every year. The river is absolutely stuffed with them. Sometimes we go hours with out a take. Then as if someone threw a switch it fish after fish till our arms get tired.
