Nushagak River Alaska pictures and video

ysr_racer · 07-08-2012, 09:24 PM

My wife and I were fishing with High Adventure Air at their Nushagak King Camp. If you want to see the first part of our trip in Wasilla, they're located here:

After a great time we drove down to Soldotna, had dinner with friends, spent the night at a B&B, and flew out with High Adventure Air.

We took a wheeled plane to Native village named Ekwok (population 150) then took a boat ten miles down river to the king camp.

We slept in cold, damp tents, ate like kings (thanks Colette) and caught lots and lots of king salmon thanks to our guide "Flip" Wilson.

The Chief / Tribal Chairman from Ekwok even visited us one night. His name is Luki, and he's a pretty nice guy. He even invited me back to his lodge to take a Jacuzzi, and being the shy guy I am, what could I say?

After four straight days of cold and rain, it sounded REALLY good.

Here are the videos

Even better! looks like a trip of a life time Brad. Always great to see people visiting and enjoying the Great State of Alaska. My uncle lives there and I spent a lot of summer time up there. I always love how it makes Texas look like Rhode Island....

The thing I love about Alaska is when I'm up there I don't have the headaches or hear "the voices"

I may have been born in Arizona, but damn if those pics don't make me homesick. I regret leaving Alaska and really hope to move back some day. Great pics indeed, glad you had fun.
