Since we are the major air carrier servicing the Nushagak, we are able to track the fishing as it progresses and receive reports from anglers leaving the river, which we are always happy to pass on. Private camping on native corporate lands along the Nushagak River requires a land use permit from the corporation. Commercial camps also require permits, though they are a little more complex. Choggiung Ltd. manages Choggiung lands and by contract provides land use permit management for Ekwok and New Stuyahok lands. The permits are easily obtained through the Dillingham main office or from their river headquarters between June 15th and August 30th.
Motor boats are available for rent at Portage Creek.
If you choose to fish from the shore without the aid of a boat our amphibious aircraft would be able to drop you off at a selected location. The flight from Dillingham up the Nushagak River is about 20 minutes, depending on your destination. The scenery is captivating immediately out of Dillingham, as we fly over the huge mouths of the Nushagak and Wood Rivers. The chances of seeing large schools of beluga whales feeding on small fish and salmon are very promising. Literally minutes later small herds of caribou can usually be seen grazing on the tundra.
