Nushagak River

Alaska is well known for many of the world's most beautiful rivers, particularly the Nushagak river. In addition to beauty, the Nushagak river is also home to all the various species of fish. One fish in particular, the King Salmon, boasts the highest population and quite possibly the highest popularity among fisherman world-wide.

What You Can Expect to Catch on the Nushagak River
Kings Salmon on the Nushagak river range from 20 to 60 pounds and inhabit the river in thousands. Of course, if salmon isn't quite your passion, many other types of fish are just a hook, line and sinker away! Sockeye Salmon and Rainbow Trout are but a few of the other possible catches awaiting you on the Nushagak.

Aside from the river's lucrative qualities, the Nushagak also provides a secluded and pure fishing experience. Fly-in only access limits the river's use so you won't find the same high-level people traffic that you would on other Alaskan rivers. You'll simply be surrounded by pristine natural surroundings and a lot of fish!

Lodging on the River
The Nushagak also provides you with great lodging opportunities. In order to maintain the remote beauty of the area, lodging space is kept to a minimum to provide visitors with great fishing. These lodges also provide you with the utmost in quality and service, using only the most professional in fishing guides.
