Coho, also known as silvers, are a favorite on the Nushagak. We are typically the only lodge open during this season, so we practically have the whole river to ourselves.

Sockeye, also known as reds, are the most plentiful fish in the Nushagak and throughout Bristol Bay. With over a million entering the river, the action can be fast and exciting.

Alaskan rainbow trout are prevalent in the upper Nushagak, feasting on salmon roe. Fly fishing for native, wild trout doesn't get much better — and there is very little pressure here.

Reviews
The Nushagak River adventure was way beyond my expectations — a luxurious experience in the Alaskan wilderness. Pete and his team have thought of everything. The fishing was fantastic, the food exceptional, the cabins comfortable. Everything was top notch. I definitely want to return!
Five-star experience. Flew into camp with a pilot who has 22,000 hours under his belt and was catching fish within an hour of arriving. Camp is super clean and it's just beautiful out here. By far the best guides in the area. Thank you, Pete!
Where do I begin… you run a first-class operation! I had a blast — outstanding food, accommodations, guides, and seaplane service. Thanks for one of my bucket-list items. I hope they'll invite me back again!
A Five Star in the Bush
A full-service fishing lodge recognized for comfort and amenities you would not expect to find on the remote Nushagak River in Bristol Bay, Alaska. What sets us apart is our top-notch facility, cuisine that rivals any major restaurant, quality boats and gear, and attention to detail.
Our superb location lets us fish the lower Nushagak River, home to Alaska's largest run of wild Chinook salmon. As the season progresses, sockeye enter from Bristol Bay — the world's largest producer of these prized fish — followed by an enormous run of silvers with little to no fishing pressure. We truly have the nicest lodge, the best hospitality, and the most knowledgeable guides on the river.
