Fishing Program

The home river of Wilderness Lake Lodge, Lake Creek, offers some of the best fishing for all Alaska salmon species. Rainbow trout fishing is excellent throughout the summer season at Lake Creek and provides a consistent alternative to salmon fishing during your stay. Lake Creek is a dynamic, meandering river with many isolated islands, gravel bars, runs, and backwater areas. The waters are easily fished by spin and fly fishermen alike and is typically done from the river bank, or wading out from mid-stream shallow areas. Wilderness Place Lodge offers excellent Alaska salmon fishing and trout fishing in this picturesque clearwater river.

Float Trips

The float trips at Wilderness Place Lodge are for groups of 3 - 4 people for a personalized wilderness fishing experience. Separate from lodge-based fishing packages, Wilderness Place Lodge offers week-long, guided, fully outfitted remote Alaska float trips. They raft the entire length of Lake Creek from the source at Chelatna Lake, on the southern border of Denali National Park, to the confluence at the glacial Yentna River. Their float trips give an angler the ability to explore a 60 mile wild & scenic stretch of remote Alaska. Enjoy wildlife and superb fishing for multiple salmon species, rainbow trout and arctic grayling. The pro guide staff fully caters to your every need, and assists with every aspect of your adventure. The Alaska float trips from Wilderness Place Lodge are all-inclusive and cater to small groups.

How to get there

Arrival: Guests leave for the lodge from Rust's Flying Service at Anchorage Lake Hood (adjacent to Anchorage International Airport) at 11:00 AM. It is recommended for the fishermen to arrive in Anchorage on the day before their trip to the lodge. Upon your arrival to Anchorage the evening before your flight to the lodge, call Rust's Flying Service at (907) 243-1595 for a complimentary shuttle pick-up.

Departure: On the last day of your trip you can fish the majority of the morning hours. Packing your bags the night before helps maximize your time on the water the following morning.
