I just recently got home from my Nushagak River season in Alaska. As every other year this season was filled with thousands of fish being caught and lots of smiles. Beyond the fishing we go to great lengths provide the best trip possible. From our accomadations, the quality gear, top notch meals and the diverstiy in which we fish we have put this camp as one of the elites on the river. It would be easy to rest on the laurels that the river provides, but we strive to be the best. Here is a little photo overview of the season. Enjoy. I am 75% booked for the 2006 season if you have any intentions.
Here is an example of our facilities, starting with the dinning hall (25ft by 50ft)

Here are the sleeping accomodations, 12 by 12 untis with two single beds per unit.

The boats loaded with gear and topped of with gas waiting for guests to finish breakfast.

We fish a lot of differnt ways, here is one of our favorites. Free drifting bait which gives each angler a more hands on appeal

Allthough when one is hooked up a second is sure to follow .

Since we are on the subject of multiple hook-ups

And now catching all those fish takes a lot of bait. Here is a shot of a dailly curing of eggs. I go through about four 5 gallon buckets of egg cure every season.

And of course Alaska would not be complete without a little wildlife

As good as it is up there it is alway nice to be home. Catch up on a little rest and family time and then it will be off to Astoria. I have only a couple dates left for that season, there is still some good room for Tillamook bay.
See ya on the water
