The following is a list of recommended clothing, personal articles and outdoor gear for your Alaska fishing trip to Lake Creek. It is a sample list and represents typical items that the average fisherman might bring along and what the local residents and guides might use. We generally have a good selection of the most commonly needed articles in our tackle shop. Because of our remote location, we recommend that our visitors arrive with an adequate supply of film, medicines and toilet articles.

2009 Wilderness Place Lodge - Trip Planning and Packing Info
Dress in several layers so that as the weather changes from cool to warm and sunny, you can be comfortable with minimal inconvenience. Our weather can vary from chilly and wet (dipping down to 45 to 55 degrees at night) to warm days above 80 degrees, requiring sunscreen. And remember that at our latitude of about 62 degrees, we have over 20 hours of daylight in June and July!
Travel Light! When traveling by float plane, baggage space is limited so avoid hard suitcases and bring only duffel bags or soft luggage for your trip to the lodge. Nearly all your clothing and gear for a week’s stay should fit inside one 18” by 32” duffel bag and one smaller bag.

We have a limited number of high quality rods and reels, both fly and spinning, for rent at a nominal charge for our guests. We recommend that you reserve any needed equipment as early as possible. We recommend that you bring your own gear if possible, but we have enough at the lodge to outfit most groups.
Our tackle shop is fully stocked with all the popular lures and terminal tackle that spin fishermen will need at Lake Creek. We also have a good selection of locally-tied flies in all the popular patterns. For our fly fishermen, there is a fully-stocked fly-tying table in
the lodge. We will assist guests in choosing the right gear for fishing during their stay with us at the lodge. We have sport fishing licenses at the lodge for the convenience of our guests. The cost for non-residents is $80 for a 14-day license, $55 for 7-day or $35 for a 3-day license and $20 for a 1 day. All anglers 16 years or older must have a license. You can also purchase the required king salmon tag ($10 for 1 day, $20 tag for 3 days, $30 for 7 day or $50 tag for 14 days) at the lodge.
Wine and cold beer is available at the lodge. We have a good selection of popular wines and Alaska microbrew beers on draught. A list of those currently available is posted in the dining room. Alcoholic beverages other than beer and wine are not available at the lodge. Guests should bring their own hard liquor if they wish. We can supply mixers and ice to guest cabins upon request.
We have facilities for packing and freezing a limited amount of salmon for shipping home. Our freezer space is limited. Weight restrictions in float planes will limit the number of fish that can be transported from the lodge. While we can generally freeze the daily limit for each angler, there can be extra transportation costs to fly more that 50 lbs. per person back to Anchorage. Lodge policy requires strict adherence to current state sport fishing regulations, and we ask that our guests assist us in maintaining this practice. Several special regulations are in effect at Lake Creek and are posted at the lodge.
We wish you a pleasant trip to Alaska! We are sure that your stay with us at Wilderness Place Lodge will be a memorable one. If you wish to spend some time in Anchorage during your visit to Alaska, it is imperative that you make hotel reservations well in advance. We can assist you in making these arrangements. We recommend that you plan to overnight in Anchorage the night before traveling to the lodge in order to avoid any inconvenience caused by airline or baggage delays traveling from your home. Details of your flight schedule to Lake Creek will be provided following your reservation. Don’t hesitate to phone or email us if you require any further information or assistance in planning your trip.
