Outpost on the Nush

Our operating season runs from early June to the end of August each year. A session at the Outpost includes seven nights of lodging, six days of guided fly fishing, flies, terminal tackle, meals, a basic alcoholic beverage program and round-trip transportation from Iliamna, AK to the camp. Outpost on the Nush has all the essentials for a comfortable Alaskan fishing vacation, including a full kitchen and dining area, showers, burner toilets, and comfortable guest quarters. Sleeping arrangements are one guest per cabin, with mattresses on sleeping cots and electrical outlets. Linens are provided, along with pillows, washcloths, towels, etc. Meals & Drinks All meals are cooked home-style. Throughout the week, dinner entrées include grilled steaks, chicken breasts, pork chops, prime rib, and fresh salmon. Breakfast includes all the usual meats, eggs to order, hot or cold cereals, and pancakes. A packed lunch on the river typically includes sandwiches, chips, treats, and a choice of drink. Hors d’oeuvres are served upon arrival to camp after the fishing day. Wine, beer, and a limited amount of liquors are included in your package. You may also choose to bring your favorite spirits with you for your week-long stay. Travel & Accommodations The standard fishing package is seven (7) nights / six (6) fishing days, arriving and departing from camp on Thursdays. Non-standard, customized packages are possible on a space-available status. Birdwatching, photography, and hiking activities are limitless. Berry picking is available and is exceptionally productive from early August through the end of the season. This is a very fishing-focused operation and most guests choose to fish each day of their trip. The lodge has Starlink internet access that works 24/7, even when the generators are powered off. From Anchorage (ANC), guests will travel to Iliamna Airport (ILI) with Iliamna Air Taxi to begin their trip. Once in Iliamna, you will charter privately via floatplane on the Upper Nushagak River. It is recommended that guests arrive in Anchorage on a Wednesday and overnight at a local hotel. Travel to and from camp via Iliamna will commence on Thursday mornings.
