FreshwaterWood-Tikchik State Park — Nuyakuk River below Tikchik Lake
Sweetwater Travel runs this fly-out lodge for about ten anglers a week on the Nuyakuk River, just below Tikchik Lake in Wood-Tikchik State Park. Floatplanes reach rivers in the park, the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge and Katmai, where nearly 20 jet boats are cached for drifting or wading. Trout, grayling, char and pike all go back, and each angler may keep five salmon a week.
