Duncan & Sons Upper River Base Camp

FreshwaterWestern Alaska — upper Kanektok River, Togiak National Wildlife Refuge

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.

Inside the wilderness of the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge, the Duncans' upper Kanektok camp is the only permanent camp on its stretch of river. Guides run jet boats upstream each morning and float back down, casting to the banks and wading side channels where the river braids, for rainbow trout, Dolly Varden and grayling while salmon travel up the main channel. Mouse patterns account for much of the rainbow fishing.
