Alaska's Legend Lodge Nushagak King Salmon Camp

We are located in the world famous Bristol Bay Drainage, also known as the salmon capitol of the world. the Nushagak River Camp is located 250 miles SW of Anchorage and 20 miles north upstream on the Nushagak River from Dillingham. This is a Deluxe tent camp with spacious tents with wooden foundations, large bunks, family style high quality meals, and is ten feet from the "Nush". Fishermen average 20 king salmon (aka chinook salmon) per person per day with an average of 25 pounds per fish. This is why the "Nush" is so famous. The camp is setup for fishermen to truly enjoy their remote fishing trip. One way we do this is by letting the fisherman decide on how long they want to fish (2 to 18 hours per day). Boats will only have 2 fishermen per guide for quality fishing, not combat fishing in the same boat. The camp guides are all well seasoned and all have coast guard licenses. Bait casting and spin fishing is generally the norm with selected shallow water hot spots for the flyrodder.

Alaska's Legend Lodge Nushagak Silver Salmon Camp

Nushagak River Camp also serves as our Silver Salmon Camp.  The silvers (aka. coho salmon) show up in the Nush two weeks after the kings turning our king camp into a silver salmon camp. All of the same amenities, guides and equipment of the king camp apply to the silver camp so you can enjoy great fishing and have a relaxing Alaskan wilderness vacation.
