-
The Nushagak is a salmon fishery beyond belief, with
90,000 to 180,000 king salmon from 15 to 50 pounds
returning each year.
-
Most of our clients catch a dozen or more king
salmon a day...several of our anglers catch over 100
king salmon each...per week!
-
With over 19 hours of daylight, anglers should
prepare themselves for nonstop fishing action.

Jake's Nushagak Salmon Camp was featured in the
movie "Alaska Outdoors" on the
Discovery Channel, as well as NAPA’s "North to
Alaska." hosted by Larry Csonka. Jake’s has been
featured in various books and publications such as
Alaska Outdoors, Western Outdoors, The Alaska
Angler, North American Fisherman, Fly Fishing the
Great Western Rivers and others.

Here is what to expect at Jake’s Nushagak Salmon camp:
You'll fly via commercial jet from
Anchorage to the village of Dillingham, located in the
heart of the Bristol Bay Drainage, also known as the
"Salmon Capital of the World". From here you board float
equipped aircraft for the flight to our remote fishing
camp. When you arrive at camp, you'll be treated to a
hearty lunch, after which you'll have time to unpack and
accompany your guide on a brief indoctrination of the
camp facilities
The
river is braided and we use boats for getting to the
different gravel bars, channels, and holes within the
camp's proximity. The fish are never far away. (You
catch fish on the beach in front of the camp). You will
not have to spend several hours a day flying around like
at some lodges or camps. Also consider that if the
weather is poor, you can still get out to the fish when
planes don't fly.
Our camps have spacious
tents, with carpeted floors and comfortable bunks. We
also boast hot showers, complete kitchen facilities for
restaurant-quality meals, and modern radio gear. Every
effort is made to make your stay as pleasant as
possible. Yet our policy of only two anglers per tent
allows for privacy. Meals, which are always a
first-class affair, are served family style in the
dining tent. Steaks, roast, turkey, fresh salads,
home-made rolls, and if you desire, salmon is on the
menu throughout your stay. The only thing our anglers
are wanting after leaving the dinner table is time to
sleep off their meal before hitting the water for a late
evening workout with a tackle busting king salmon.
