"King" Salmon Fishing
This is a five day trip that takes place on the "world famous" Nushugak River . We can accommodate up to six anglers for each five day allotment. Fishing "Kings" on the Nushagak is consistently spectacular. You can expect a lot of action from these fish. The run is at its peak this time of year and we plan accordingly. (June 10th - July 10th)
Located about thirty miles up the "world famous" Nushagak River, above the confluence of the Bering Sea, is a small native village called Ekwok. Here the people have survived off the land for decades hunting and fishing in their traditional ways. This is where we operate our fish camp throughout the summer months.
When you book a fishing trip with APO you become part of an elite group of anglers that we take each season up to our Ekwok camp. All five species of salmon make their way up the river throughout different times of the summer. We specifically target Chinook "King" Salmon and when the run is "hot" our anglers can expect to catch one hundred or more of these rod busting fish per day. At the end of the day you can expect hearty meals, hot showers, warm beds with a roof over your head and even a steam bath if you prefer, to loosen up your arms for the next day.
Operating above the congested waters of the lower river where other outfitters fight off each other for prime fishing spots allows us to provide for our clients a relatively non-competitive environment. Living in a true Alaskan native village for a week gives our clients a greater appreciation for how these people live their lives. Whether it's listening to elders tell hunting stories or watching the women cleaning and hanging fish on the shore of the river you leave Ekwok with an experience that you will talk about for the rest of your life. Not only is the fishing great but we think it is the over all experience that really sets the stage for a fun trip.
