Sapsuk River Camp

FreshwaterAlaska Peninsula — Sapsuk (Hoodoo) River above Nelson Lagoon

About 20 miles up the Sapsuk River, also known as the Hoodoo, from the Bering Sea, Aleutian Adventures keeps a fixed tent camp that guests reach by charter flight to Nelson Lagoon and a jet boat ride. Two anglers share each guide, wading gravel bars and swinging flies, mostly on spey rods, for kings in early summer, silvers in late August and steelhead in the fall. The camp holds six anglers a week in salmon season and four in steelhead season.
