The Mississippi River has been open for a month or so now, so any free time is back pursuing large walleyes and those “eaters”.īrent is eagerly counting down the days where he’ll trek back to Alaska, again bittersweet to leave his girls but with happy anticipation for seeing his Nush family and friends soon.Hi hi. He harvested a nice whitetail buck with his rifle, but even more exciting was taking a nice whitetail doe with one of his kids with him for the first time and his dad there for the experience. Brent says, “When your 5-year-old wants to wear camo make-up while rifle hunting because her sister got to while bowhunting, you comply!” Winter ice fishing season was highlighted by Mississippi River backwater bluegills, crappie, and perch. In the off season, Brent enjoyed summer panfish then transitioned to early fall walleye, crappie, and jumbo perch with good friends such as NRAL fellow guide, Kim Kottke. Late fall brought some beautiful days in the tree stand on his family’s farm bowhunting for whitetails. Many late fall/early winter days were spent with his lab, Buddy, with friends and family hunting local pheasants. Leaving lodge friends who Brent considers family is always hard, but knowing that his two little girls were waiting to see their daddy and also waiting to get on the water themselves! When guide Brent Seamans departed from the lodge at the end of the king season, his feelings were bittersweet.
Marc says, “I can’t wait to see some old friends and also make some new.” He is pretty pumped up for what this next season holds. Marc’s been in near constant communication with the team, to make sure we have more than enough gear for the season.
November brought Marc back to Alaska to visit his daughter and her family in Ketchikan and he was happy to get in a little Sitka blacktail deer hunting while visiting.
While pining away for the lodge, Marc distracted himself guiding clients in September and October to some fantastic Columbia River fishing. He was staying in his travel trailer, eating beef stew out of a can. Marc remembers being on the Cowlitz River in Washington state last fall wondering how the fishing was going on The Nush. Based in The Dalles, Oregon Twisted Waters fishes Pacific Northwest area rivers. After returning home from guiding at Nushagak River Adventures Lodge last season, Marc immediately jumped into the summer steelhead run for his business Twisted Waters Guide Service. Guide Marc Bush has been dreaming about The Nush since he left.
