Alaska salmon camp

The Nushagak River has long been one of the most productive salmon rivers. After a lot of fish was taken in the past, nowadays there are clear rules for taking and putting back this perfect game fish. As a result of these measures, large numbers of salmon are now swimming up the river again to deposit their eggs. Between 100.000 and 180.000 royal salmon per season find their way on this river. This makes it the largest run of king salmon in the world.

Next to king salmon, other species such as chum, pink, sockeye and silver salmon also move along this river depending on the season. In addition, nature in this region is overwhelming. The summer salmon camp has been organized for many years and is fully equipped for fishing. This special location has a return rate among guests of 90 %. So then know what you are getting into and do not wait too long because bookings tend go fill up quickly. On average there is 18 hours of light a day and that makes it possible to make long days and catch lots and lots of big fish. So for the fanatic fisherman this is a dream come true.

The camp consists of a number of sturdy and luxurious tents for 2 persons each and a main tent where the food is served. The tents are set up directly on the bank of the river on a wooden floor and you sleep on good camp beds.

Fishing here is practised in two ways:

1. Trolling from aluminium boats that have 25 to 40 hp engines. The guide will drive the boat and there will be a maximum of 3 fishermen on board. The boats are 5 metres long and offer plenty of space for the guests.

2. Casting from the shore. Depending on your wishes you can undertake your own walking fishing safari or have yourself dropped off at a good spot on the river. It is wise to follow the advice of the guide as they offer an absolute added value on this trip and are actually continuously present to support you.
