Igushiq

Igushiq lies along a river flowing from Amanka Lake to Nushagak Bay in southwestern Alaska. The waterway, known as Iiyuussiiq in Yup'ik, crosses the Bristol Bay lowlands before reaching the sea. Near its mouth is a seasonal fishing place and village site associated with salmon harvesting. The river joins a wider network of waters that connect the inland lakes with the rich fisheries of Bristol Bay.
