September is the time of year the hard core fishermen have circled on their calendar to head to Alaska for the huge Rainbows and Char the Bristol Bay area is known for. After feeding on Salmon eggs for 6 to 8 weeks, that 25″ fish that weighed 6 lbs in June suddenly weighs 12 lbs, and that 30″ fish will often top 15 lbs!

September is also one of the most beautiful times of the year in southwest Alaska as the fireweed and blueberry bushes turn brilliant red, the cottonwoods and alders turn bright yellow & the mountains often have a skiff of snow on them. The Brown Bears are usually very visible as they are working hard for the last salmon to put on extra body fat before hibernation.

We still have a few spots available in late September for select fishermen to have an opportunity to hook into the largest Rainbow and Char Alaska has to offer while enjoying the beauty that is Alaska in the fall. Contact Derek or Andy at Angry Eagle Lodge to book your September trip and a fishing trip you will never forget!

The fall Rainbows in southwest Alaska are HUGE!

After eating salmon eggs for 8 weeks, this Char looks like a football!

How often have you dreamed about catching a 20″ Rainbow? Come to Alaska and we will guide you to the 30″ bows!

Check out this 30+ inch Rainbow! He is bigger than the late season Sockeyes in the background.

The greatest salmon run in the world is currently in progress in southwest Alaska. The Alaska Department of Fish & Game has estimated that about 51 million Sockeye (Red) Salmon will leave the Bering and Pacific Oceans during the summer of 2018 to ascend the rivers of the mainland to spawn and die. Sockeye Salmon are considered the primo salmon for eating, be it canned, cooked or smoked. The indigenous peoples of coastal Alaska have for thousands of years taken and preserved vast numbers of Sockeyes during their annual summer spawning runs to feed their families and dog teams. The commercial fishermen will harvest over 20 million of the Sockeyes each year for the canneries and commercial market thereby leaving millions of to enter the lakes and streams for the bears, eagles, indigenous peoples and sport fishermen. The sport fisherman’s limit of Sockeyes is usually 5 per day, which means a couple of days of fishing can provide our clients with 30 or 40 lbs of one of the best eating filets you can find.

Around the first week of July each yeaar, 4 – 6 million Sockeyes enter southwest Alaska’s vast Lake Iliamna from the Bering Sea making their way to the northeast end of the lake where Angry Eagle Lodge is located providing virtually an unlimited number of hookups for our clients through early September. If you have never experienced the awesome Sockeye runs of the Lake Iliamna area, you need to come visit us for one of the greatest spectacles of your life! We are now booking for the summer of 2019 and availability is limited during this popular time of the year, so it is advantageous to book your trip a year in advance to ensure you can have the dates you desire.

The fruits of a day of Sockeye Salmon fishing at Angry Eagle Lodge!

Sockeyes stack up by the thousands in Lake Iliamna at the mouth of it’s many tributaries before they ascend to spawn.

The Sockeye run sustains a myriad of wildlife in the Bristol Bay area of southwest Alaska.

If you have never experienced the Sockeye run you need to come fishing with us between mid-July and late September. ITS AWESOME!

Meet the new owner of Fish the Nush! Pete von Jess had been fishing the Nush for a few years and learned the camp was in trouble and in bankruptcy. He knew the camp was a treasure, one of a kind and had a vision for what it could be. So he bought it! For the past two years, together with his brother in law and a team of friends, they have transformed the camp into one of the top remote salmon fishing camps. Pete is a retired Army Colonel, CEO, husband, father and papa. He promotes teamwork, professionalism, safety and will ensure his guests have a top notch experience.

Come see our new camp, meet Pete as well as his outstanding staff. It’s an experience of a lifetime.

Come fish with us! www.fishthenush.com
Accepting reservations for 2019, 2020 and 2021.

The Alaska Department of Fish & Game has posted their last counts of King Salmon ascending the Nushagak River from the Bering Sea. The sonar counting station is at Portage Creek, just downriver from the braids located about 40 miles up river from the ocean. This has been a good year with 86,987 King Salmon being counted since June 14th. After a disappointing run of 56,961 counted as of July 14, 2017, the King numbers jumped back up to about average on the Nush. Below are numbers of Kings AF&G has counted ascending the Nush as of July 14 the last 7 years at the Portage Creek sonar station:

2018 86,987
2017 59,961
2016 120,461
2015 95,084 
2014 64,485
2013 95,646
2012. 81,092

The 86,987 Kings counted ascending the Nushagak this year will very probably exceed the sum total of all the other rivers in Alaska where AF&G conducts counts. What that tells us is that if you are thinking about a trip to Alaska for Kings, the Nush is the only place to go for a high probability of catching you limit! Angry Eagle is booking spots for the 2019 King Salmon season on the Nushagak, which runs from about the 2nd week of June thru the 3rd week of July. Needless to say spots are limited and go quickly, if you want to fish for Kings next season now is the time to book your dates!

The Nushagak River we fish for King Salmon has produced one of the most consistent runs we have seen in many years. While every other river in Alaska that has a King run has been experiencing declining runs the last few years the “Nush” and maintained it’s impressive runs. Since the AF&G Department began counting Salmon at their Portage Creek sonar station, located about 20 miles upriver from Bristol Bay on the Bering Sea, has the count been under 1,000 King Salmon a day and that includes July 8th when “only” 982″ Kings were counted. 1,000 Kings per day provides excellent fishing in the braids north of Portage Creek where we conduct our fishing. As you are only allowed to keep 2 Kings per day, one under 28″ and one over 28″ with an aggregate limit of 4 Kings per year, our anglers generally limit out in two days of fly-outs from the lodge at Lake Iliamna and are able to spend the rest of the week enjoying the great Rainbow, Char, Grayling and Pike fishing the Lake Iliamna area is known for.

The King season will run thru the 3rd week of July & now is the time to be booking your 2019 trip for Kings with Angry Eagle Lodge. As the King run is only about 5 weeks long, booking a year out is the only way you can ensure getting the particular week you are interested in during June and July. Call or e-mail Derek or Andy for availability today!
