DILLINGHAM, ALASKA (DLG) Guests travel to Anchorage and onward to Dillingham, Alaska with Pen Air or Alaska Air on Wednesdays and depart for camp on Thursday morning on board Dave’s float plane. Anglers then depart Dave’s camp the following Thursday and plan on Thursday afternoon departure from Dillingham back to Anchorage for evening flights to the lower 48. +

TYPE OF FISHING & SPECIES

RAINBOW TROUT, CHAR, GRAYLING, AND ALL 5 SPECIES OF SALMON. Jet-boat based program with lots of walk and wade fishing for all species. +

SEASONALITY & WHEN TO GO

EGDORF’S CAMPS ARE OPEN FROM EARLY JUNE THROUGH SEPTEMBER. Depending upon conditions, anglers can expect a quality fishing experience whenever the camp is open, but style o fishing and species available is very seasonal in accordance with the salmon runs. (See complete details under SEASONALITY / WHEN TO GO for a complete breakdown). +

IS EGDORF’SNUSHAGAK CAMPS RIGHT FOR YOU?

Egdorf’s camps are for folks interested in a very isolated and remote wilderness experience – somewhat of a throwback style of experiencing Alaska. It offers an affordable price point compared to the high-end fly out operations. While camps are very comfortable given their remoteness, it is not a destination for folks looking for luxury. It is also not a fishery associated with massive trout like you find in other locations in Alaska. It is a fishery loaded with uneducated and plentiful numbers of rainbows in the 16-24 inch range with bigger specimens up to 28 inches a possibility. +

COST & EXPENSES

Rates are inclusive of all guided, accommodations and meals. Additional expenses include but are not limited to airfare to Anchorage, hotel accommodations in Anchorage when applicable, Airfare to Dillingham and hotel accommodations in Dillingham, use of fishing equipment, gratuities and bar tab. for details).

THE

DESTINATION

This is a no-frills approach to Alaska and puts the emphasis on great wilderness fishing. Dave and Kim Egdorf’s Wilderness Camps on the Upper Nushagak are Alaska’s answer to Eastern Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula … Totally remote and isolated rainbow trout fishing and a true wilderness experience – yet at a very affordable price point.

The Nushagak Camp, and sister Wilderness Camp sit right on the banks of two of the finest, least-impacted fisheries in the entire Bristol Bay watershed.

To experience this quality of untouched Alaska angling, one normally has to put up with the incon-

veniences of mobile float trips; rushing through mandatory lengths of stream daily, setting up camps every night, cooking and eating on the fly, and breaking camp each morning…and it seems nothing ever gets dry. At the Egdorf’s operation, you have all the benefits of a river lodge – comfortable, permanent accommodations – combined with the biggest attribute of remote river floats, lightly-fished waters virtually untouched by anyone outside of your fellow camp-mates.

There are still places in Alaska to fish in total solitude; where you have the river all to yourself. Un-

THE

FISHING

From the rugged headwaters that begin on the western slopes of the Alaska Range, to its terminus at Bristol Bay, the Nushagak is a monstrous river, flowing wild for 282 miles. Its drainage envelopes 13,200 square miles, making it the largest, most important watershed in Alaska’s most famous fishing region. The habitat is pristine and it shows. “The Nush” and the river’s tributaries are home to exceedingly healthy runs of all five species of Pacific salmon, including the world’s largest run of wild King (Chinook) salmon. In total, over 10 million salmon return annually to this one single river system to spawn and, eventually die.

Each morning you will be awakened around 7 am by a knock at your door, a steaming mug of coffee – or whatever your favorite morning beverage of choice may be – and given some time to wake up, get dressed, and amble on over to the dining tent. Here you’ll be fed heaps of delicious “campfare” breakfast, and sent staggering back to your tent to prepare for the fishing day ahead. Though the schedule is relaxed and catered to the group’s preferences (with no outside pressure on their rivers, there is no need to rush to secure the best water…), the guides are normally at their boats and

The majority of the Nushagak has an easily waded pebble-bottom and the classic pool, riffle, cut-bank pool, provides a picture-perfect fly fishing scenario. Most fly rodders on the river prefer a six-weight rod and use a floating line the majority of the time. Streamer fishing under the cutbanks is devastatingly effective, and early season trout rise to caddis before the first of the salmon arrive in the Upper Nushagak.

Even during the salmon spawn, hand-tied glo-bug style single eggs and flesh patterns are the confidence flies, rather than the plastic beads that you flat-out NEED in fisheries elsewhere in Alaska that get more pressure.

CHAR, GRAYLING AND PIKE Rainbows get the bulk of the attention but it’s nice to know the entire river system is stuffed with other sport fish. Large grayling rise to high floating dry flies right through the summer and fly rodders usually bring along 3 or 4 weight outfits for the afterhours action. Colorful, char abound in August and September, and calm oxbows in the river harbor northern pike that take poppers and mice like a barracuda.

THE

ACCOMMODATIONS

The money spent on this package doesn’t get you 7-course meals and massage therapists. It gets you flown into the middle of nowhere, all the guided and unguided fishing you can take, delicious hearty meals, and warm dry accommodations to sack out in. You’re hosted by owner/operators Dave and Kim Egdorf and their great team of seasoned guides.

As the jet boats slide into camp on your day of arrival, you are greeted not only by Kim Egdorf and the rest of the staff, but also your first look at where you’ll be spending the following week. Physically,

the camp has evolved steadily over the past two decades, and reflects what we believe to be an ideal combination of rustic creature comforts blending perfectly with its surroundings. Spacious, Yosemite-style Weatherport tents are situated on top of elevated wooden platforms, each with their own wooden deck to get in and out of your waders and boots. Every tent has two foam mattress bunks, each with its own sleeping bag complete with interchangeable liner. An electric light provides illumination for organizing tackle, or reading yourself to sleep after fish-filled days. Hangars are provided to organize your shirts, jackets, fleece and waders, and

ARGENTINANUSHAGAK EGDORF’S DOVES UNLIMITED CAMPS --ALASKA NORTHWESTERN ARGENTINA

a table at the head of the bunks offers space for a book, glasses, a glass of water or late-night snacks.

Nothing fancy, but cozy and functional. Considering where you’re at, a veritable lap of luxury!

Dave’s camps are, in a way, a throwback to the 1940’s, when folks heading to Alaska for adventure fishing looked for nothing more than a dry tent and fishing that was right outside the door. The outfitters who accommodated them adopted a style of simple, comfortable, on-river camps that were easy to set up and maintain in super remote regions, and offered immediate boat or foot access to the river.

Lodge fishing in Alaska has since moved away from this rustic “camp” style, as fly-out lodges, with their amenities and indulgences have set a new standard of sorts. But it’s good to know guys like Dave are still out there, in the middle of nowhere, offering hardcore fishing, complete solitude...and plenty of creature comforts.

Dave and Kim’s Nushagak Camp accommodates eight anglers comfortably, though they sometimes hold occupancy at six, for integral groups. The dining tent is centrally located, separating the guests and guides respective quarters, and is a hub of activity – as is the bench-ringed fire-pit out front, at the river’s edge. Two chemical toilet bathrooms are located a short walk behind the guest accommodations, as is the shower facility, with its vanity and sink. Obvious paths lead from the tent areas to the best local fishing, much of which can be found a stone’s throw from the camp, a wonderful opportunity for post-dinner fishing sessions.

From succulent steaks to Cornish Game Hens, pasta to fresh fish, fresh-baked bread and an array of other delicious entrees and appetizers, you will not be disappointed in the food, nor are you likely to head home any lighter. As part of the package rate the Camp provides guests with a reasonable amount of beer and sodas during their stay, as well as all the iced tea, fruit punch and fresh water.

Anglers should feel welcome to bring a bottle of their favorite alcoholic beverage in their luggage, if they so desire. Each week a load of choice meats, fresh veggies, and pounds of basics like flour, sugar, coffee and bacon arrive into camp by float-plane.

The cooks use their scratch ingredients and spice racks to produce the best home-style meals in the Alaskan bush. Think cowboy-cook meets cafe gourmet.

THE WILDERNESS CAMP Wilderness Camp is a two day/one night option during your stay, typically fishing well during the months of July and August. Dave will let you know upon arrival if it is fishing well, and as long as weather allows, he will fly groups of two interested anglers there with a guide (who will also do the cooking during the short stay) and let them experience this

CAPACITY: 8 ANGLERS PER WEEK

TRAVEL & ITINERARY Although one has to figure in an extra day or two of travel time with a weeklong trip to the Egdorfs, this is merely due to the sheer remoteness of the destination. The payoff is well worth the effort.

TRAVEL TO ANCHORAGE, ALASKA Guests begin their trip traveling from their home to Anchorage. Depending on the time of arrival and the available connections, it is often possible to continue directly from Anchorage to Dillingham, though many people will want to overnight in Anchorage, before heading on into “the bush”. West Coast travelers, in particular, may be able to skip the Anchorage overnight and go directly to Dillingham on their first day of travel. Anglers originating

in the south or eastern USA will require overnight in Anchorage on Tuesday night.

GETTING TO CAMP The tiny outpost village of Dillingham is the final commercial flight destination for anglers destined to Egdorf’s Nushagak Camp. Regularly scheduled (Alaska Air or Pen Air) flights to Dillingham, where guests spend the night before beginning their angling adventure. There are numerous overnight options in Dillingham, and most veterans choose the Beaver Creek B&B. Their service is top-notch, and the Beaver Creek folks have worked closely with the Egdorfs for many years. If they’re full, no worries, because there are several other good options.

ARGENTINANUSHAGAK EGDORF’S DOVES UNLIMITED CAMPS --ALASKA NORTHWESTERN ARGENTINA

Dillingham is a rough-and-ready little coastal fishing village, its Native population supplemented with a lot of both transient and permanent “outsiders”; mostly fishermen, or those who make a living from the fishing industry. There is essentially one restaurant and, thankfully, it is surprisingly good… we recommend the Yukon Cheeseburger for lunch (their blueberry milkshake is to die for, if they haven’t run out of ice cream), and their Crusted Halibut dinner special is excellent.

SAMPLE ITINERARY TUESDAY Travel to Anchorage, Alaska. Spend the night in Anchorage at a recommended hotel. Hotel accommodations and meals are not included in package cost.

To make it even more appealing, the water is usually a bit higher in June, opening up

many miles of the river upstream from camp that can get a bit “bony” to run jet sleds in later in the summer. It is amazing to take an hour boat ride upstream to where the Nushagak is barely more than a creek, then float and fish your way back downstream, whacking big rainbows out of small buckets, shelving riffles and drowned logjams. There are often predictable daily hatches of mayflies and stoneflies, to which the abundant populations of river grayling rise enthusiastically. While these beautiful little sail-finned creatures average 14”-15”, there is no shortage of larger specimens in the 16-18-inch range, with the occasional trophy over 20”…and fishing them on a 4 or 5 wt with dry flies is a blast!

JULY – EARLY AUGUST Sometime in late June or early July the upper river will flood with king and chum salmon, moving onto their traditional spawning grounds. There will sometimes be a few chrome-bright specimens available that are exciting to fish for, but most will be further along in their spawning maturity (bodies gaining striking colors and exaggerated kypes).

Some of these “tanks” will push the 40-pound mark, and are incredible to watch as they pair up and build their redds in shallow water. Even more exciting to observe are all the trout, grayling, and newly-arrived sea run dolly varden as they line up behind the salmon, eager to take advantage of the drifting salmon eggs that escape the nests.

For the rest of the season, the river will be loaded with trout of all sizes, hyper-aggressive dollies averaging 14-18-inches, and grayling, all of which depend upon the various salmon runs for their sustenance. July and August are a time of plenty, and highly recommended for people who like

WWW.TAILWATERSFLYFISHING.COM

to see tons of life in the river, and catch a LOT of fish. Expect to dead-drift single egg patterns and/ or small “flesh” streamers along the bottom now, sometimes to fish you can see; few things match the thrill of watching a big rosy-sided leopard ‘bow drift over and intercept your fly in a foot of water, then explode into the air when you set the hook!

Somewhere in July you’ll also see waves of crimsonand-green sockeye salmon flood the river, adding an almost obscene amount of eggs and decomposing flesh to the already impressive buffet.

MID AUGUST –SEPTEMBER Mid-August to early September brings the final push of salmon in the form of cohos, an aggressive species that will eat almost any bright streamer, and often surface poppers, as well. Cohos (also known as silver salmon) are often in better condition than the other salmon when they arrive, and a blast to target on a six or seven weight rod.

September marks the arrival of autumn at the Nushagak Camps – cold, crisp nights, cool days, and a dramatic change of color to the forest and tundra landscape. The fishing begins to once again resemble early season, with very few salmon, and a continuing upstream migration of the dolly varden that sees their numbers dwindle in the prime fishing grounds.

ALASKAN WEATHER The weather is about the only thing you CANNOT count on with your trip to Alaska. Guests must plan on every type of weather to occur at anytime. Daytime temperatures range from cool to hot and rain showers can occur at any moment. On any given day you could see hot weather turn to cold, calm turn to windy, and sunny to rainy almost before your eyes. If you decide to visit Alaska a rain jacket is an absolute must. Typically, June and July are a little warmer and drier than August and September.
