The Salmon Run Has Been Awesome The Last 7 Days On The Nushagak River!

8/28/2018

0 Comments

 
​During the last 7 days, nearly 200,000 Salmon have ascended the Nushagak River in southwest Alaska fulfilling the our fishermen’s wildest dreams!  These numbers include 32,000 King Salmon, 40,000 Sockeye Salmon and 124,000 Chum Salmon.  Alaska Dept. of Fish & Game (ADF&G) officials expect the daily runs to subside somewhat during the next week as they open the season for commercial fishermen tomorrow off the mouth of the Nushagak in Bristol Bay.  When escapement numbers are achieved in a given time frame, ADF&G gives the commercial industry window of time to net the incoming salmon until their wuoto numbers are met.  This does not mean a total stop in the salmon entering the river, it simply cuts the numbers that enter the river daily.
​    Any way you look at it, the last week has given the indication of a great salmon run for 2018!  Angry Eagle Lodge flies it’s salmon fishermen early in the mornings from the lodge at Lake Iliamna to the Nushagak for a full day of fishing and then back to the comforts of our upscale lodge late in the afternoon.  This allows our anglers to enjoy the great Salmon fishing on the Nushagak and not having to stay in a primitive tent camp on the River itself.  After catching your yearly quota of 4 King Salmon, our ideal location on Lake Iliamna allows us to have our anglers experience the awesome Rainbow Trout, Arctic Char, Grayling and Pike fishing southwest Alaska offers as well as the great salmon fishing of the Nushagak River!  Come visit us for the fishing experience of a lifetime as we are now booking for the 2019 fishing season.
