Itinerary
It was a week where the rain fell heavy at times, where the wind
sometimes drove it harder, frustrating anglers looking for any way to
push a cast into the challenging conditions. When the casts fell the
fish were there. Silvers are pouring into the Nushagak, crashing into
flies and lures, chasing them into the shallows, waking behind surface
flies before pulling them under in a gulping swirl. We are catching
most of our fish within the reaches of tidewater where the fish are
still blistering hot, accompanying their acrobatics with head-strong
runs that leave you praying that your backing knot will hold. With
silver fishing being so good, most of our guests made multiple trips to
catch those insanely aggressive fish. One day this week weather
prevented us from flying, but no matter, the Wood River that runs right
next to the lodge supplied those anglers that were brave enough to test
their fortitude with rods bowed to silvers until the weather drove them
inside. The Upper Nushagak continued to produce weary arms and
shoulders. With countless dolly varden, rainbow trout and grayling to
keep our guests busy it was again a very popular destination. With
difficult weather in can often be a challenge to stay positive, but our
guests made it easy dealing with it beautifully, rolling with nature’s
punches. Thanks to all of our guests this past week. We look forward to
fishing with you next summer.
