Wilderness Place Lodge:
Fishing Day

Fishing at Wilderness Place Lodge is an all day event.

This is your trip, plan it as you please! Your personal guide(s): 1 guide/ 2-3 fishermen, will coordinate your daily fishing schedule based on your preferences. Your personal guide(s): 1 guide/ 2-3 fishermen, will coordinate your daily fishing schedule based on your preferences. Fishing hours for Alaska king salmon in June and early July are 6 am - 11 pm. Most fishing guests hit the water early, in time for the 6 am opener. For the remainder of the summer (sockeye, silver, pink and chum salmon + trout), legal fishing hours are 24 hours/day.

Our chefs can cater to your fishing preferences. For early risers who plan to maximize their fishing time, we offer hot breakfast delivered on the water around 8am each day. Fishermen also have the option of an in-lodge breakfast at the same 8am hour. Similarly, lunch can be delivered on the water, or may be enjoyed in the lodge dining room at noon each day. Arrangements for your group's meal schedule must be made with the chef a day prior. A 4-course gourmet dinner is served in the main lodge each evening at 6pm, with hors d' oeuvres served during the 5 pm happy hour. We do our best to accommodate your personal preferences when it comes to fishing hours.

While primarily a fly fishing lodge, Wilderness Place Lodge is also able to cater to spin fishing should any non-fly fishing group members have an interest.

Competition for space during the peak of the salmon runs can be tight, so be sure to get in touch with The Fly Shop as soon as possible to begin your trip research.
