Your Host at Jake's Nushagak Salmon Camp
“If you have always wanted the fishing trip
of a lifetime, this is your opportunity.”
—Host Eli Huffman
Jake’s Nushagak Salmon Camp has been featured in the movie Alaska Outdoors on the Discovery Channel, as well as Larry Csonka’s North to Alaska. 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.
Eli Huffman welcomes you to the best King Salmon fishing available anywhere. Eli spent his youth on a farm in Washington State at the confluence of the Columbia and Snake rivers and has been chasing Salmon since childhood. He has been fishing the waters of Western Alaska since the mid 1980s and is honored to make the trip of a lifetime available to you.
If your target is Kings and a lot of them we fill that bill. The Nushagak River has the largest run of King Salmon in Alaska. In 2005 the Fish and Game department reported 181,101 Kings went through the sonar counting station just up the river from us by the time they closed it down in late July. In excess of 20% of the Kings that spawn in Alaska run this watershed. We also have available Chum, Pink, and Sockeye Salmon and regularly catch Arctic Char and an occasional Rainbow.
The first overnight Sport Fishing Camp that was permitted by the Yup’ik Eskimos, we will celebrate our 24th year in 2007.
We offer 6 nights 7 day, and 4 nights 5 day, or custom length stays. In 2006 we celebrated with one guest his 20th year to return in a row. To celebrate along with Larry his entire trip was complementary.
We are extremely excited that you are interested and look forward to the opportunity to spend time fishing with you. We have had guests from as far away as England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Holland, Zimbabwe and South Africa the past two seasons. We would be honored to have you as a guest.
Come join us for some tackle bustin fishing and see why most of our guests return again and again.
