Duncan & Sons Lower River Base Camp

FreshwaterWestern Alaska — lower Kanektok River, above Quinhagak

No website of its own; details from booking agents: this page is built from the agencies and other pages listed under Sources, not from the lodge's own website.

The Duncan family has guided the Kanektok since the early 1980s, and this tent camp about 15 river miles above Quinhagak is the lower of their two camps on the river. Being near tidewater, it concentrates on salmon, with kings, chums, sockeyes and silvers fished from boats and by wading. Rainbow trout and Dolly Varden share the same water.
