Nushagak River
The Nushagak River is a river in southwest Alaska at about 60°50' North 154° West. It begins in the Alaska Range and flows southwest 450 km (280 miles) to Nushagak Bay, an inlet of Bristol Bay. The town of Dillingham (Pop. 2,466) is on Nushagak Bay.
The Iowithla River and the Kokwok River are smaller tributaries. The villages of Portage Creek, Ekwok, Koliganek and New Stuyahok are on the river.
The Nushagak Wilderness Lodge is about 7 miles below Ekwok, a native village. The Kokwok River flows into the Nushagak about 3/8 miles above our camp.
The Fish count last year
The King Salmon run was 160,000 from June 20th to July 12th. From July 1 through August 20th, we also had a great run of Sockeye and Silver Salmon. In other words millions of fish went up to their spawning grounds.

Location of Ekwok, Alaska
All five species of Pacific salmon (Chinook, Coho, Sockeye, Chum and Pink) spawn in the river or its tributaries. Commercial, subsistence and sport fishing are important in the area. Most notable is the annual run of King (Chinook) Salmon which occurs from mid June to mid July. Rainbow trout, northern pike, grayling, burbot, whitefish and arctic char are also present in the Nushagak.
