Fly-in Wilderness Float Fishing Adventures - Fully-guided Alaska fishing float trip on Lake Creek Alaska. We believe we offer one of the finest wilderness & fishing float trips experiences in the world with top notch fishing guides, excellent food, comfortable amenities and the finest equipment. Most importantly, our Alaska float trips are all inclusive! Each float fishing trip is 6 days and covers the 60 scenic river miles of Lake Creek. On the final day of your stay, you will float into Wilderness Place Lodge for a few hours to enjoy a hot shower, re-pack, relax and get "re-civilized" prior to flying back to Anchorage that evening at 6pm. An option for each trip is to include a final night at Wilderness Place Lodge with private riverside cabin, gourmet meals and first-class accommodations. Each of our Alaska raft trips feature world-class rainbow trout and grayling fishing. Depending on the time of your preferred travel dates, king salmon, sockeye salmon, pink salmon, chum salmon and/or silver salmon will be running throughout our freestone river.

3 night Lodge Stay + Fly-Out Pioneer Outpost + Half-Day Float Trip - Our guests are not just hardcore fishermen! Over the years we have seen a greater diversity of adventure seekers. From couples to families, there has been increasing interest in multi-faceted adventure packages that include the best of remote Alaska. We have tailored some unique trips for those looking for a well-rounded Alaska wilderness vacation, those interested in straying from the crowds, or for those on a time budget. In addition to your Wilderness Place Lodge fishing lodge experience, these bundled packages diversify your experience with additional activities and destinations.

Our lodge packages include: round-trip float plane flight from Anchorage Alaska, all meals, 7 private deluxe cabin(s), 6 with full bath, all meals on and off the water, all fishing gear (spin and fly fishing), Simms waders and boots, personal fishing guides (one per 2-3 fishermen), all beverages, local micro-brew beer, wine, etc. We try our best to make your fishing trip affordable and take care of everything you need upon arrival to assure your packing list is kept to a minimum.

This package includes all meals during your stay. 6 days of guided lodge based river experiences, whether it be fishing, wildlife- viewing or adventure activities. Comfortable heated riverfront cabin with access to toilet and hot showers only a few steps away from your cabin door, or en-suite toilet and hot showers. You will arrive on Sunday, and activities begin Monday through Saturday with departure on the following Sunday.

For those who think a toilet and bed is too extravagant and would rather spend their nights in a tent surrounded by the stars and sounds of the wild, we have the perfect package for you. Our guests will stay in a tent camp on the lower Alagnak river hosted by professional guides and targeting primarily fresh sea-run salmon. There is a possibility for Rainbow Camps near the Lake Outlets early season in June as well. Like our lodge based packages you will arrive on Sunday, fish Monday through Saturday and depart on the following Sunday. Your meals are included, and your help around camp is expected.

If you are more in tune with nature and would rather spend your days floating down river on a raft, evenings setting up camp and sleeping in tent under the stars, then our float trip package is right up your ally. You will be dropped off with your guide at the source of the river and picked up miles downstream 7 days later. You will be expected to help with the setting up and breaking down of camp each day as well as other daily chores. Like our lodge based packages you will arrive on Sunday, fish Monday through Saturday and depart on the following Sunday. All meals included.

And finally, for the extreme Chuck Norris types out there, we provide a do it yourself float trip package. We will send you and/or your group, off on this adventure trip with everything you need, from pots and pans to the rafts and tents you will be spending your days and nights in. This is a great way to live out your childhood dream of pitting yourself against a remote Alaskan river, with just a rod in hand, and no one to answer to. Now I like a warm bed and flush toilet myself, but don't let me stop you from living your dream! Like our lodge based packages you will arrive on Sunday, fish Monday through Saturday and depart on the following Sunday. Bring your own food.

Our 4 Day Stay package runs Saturday - Wednesday and we make getting to Katmai Lodge fast and easy. Our changeover days are Saturday and Wednesday. On many of those days we offer a private charter from Anchorage directly into our 5,000 foot runway at the lodge. The flight takes about an hour and is over some beautiful scenery.

From those just learning to fish to advanced anglers, there is no place more enjoyable and productive to fish than a boat ride through hundreds of miles of fishable water outside our lodge, or a flyout to tributaries which feed the Alagnak. Our guests can fish from the boat and gravel bars, or wade- whichever choice the conditions call for. All five species of Pacific Salmon run in the Alagnak.
Note: Round trip airfare between Anchorage and the lodge is $600

Imagine the wonderful fishing you will experience by having an experienced guide, an airplane at your beck and call and some of the finest fishing rivers in the world for an entire week!

Aniak Air Guides' lodge sits on the outskirts of the village of Aniak, at the confluence of The Aniak & Kuskokwim Rivers (see location page). Being right in the heart of the 3 most productive fisheries in western/southwest Alaska ( the Yukon, Kuskokwim, and Bristol Bay Drainages), gives us a unique advantage to access, and choose from so many wonderful and productive fisheries.

Local waters commonly yield 20-30 salmon per day!....not too mention all the rainbows, arctic char, dolly varden, & arctic grayling. King and chum salmon are the first to arrive.... starting their run by the village in mid June and culminating by the end of July. Aggressive silvers typically show in late July, and hit all the way thru mid-Sept. Reds and pinks are sprinkled in from late June thru early August. Rainbow Trout fishing is second to none, starting in mid-June, with hot fishing all the way in to September. Arctic char, dolly varden, and arctic grayling are also caught in abundance until mid-September.
