My husband and I had the trip of a lifetime booking a package trip through WPL! Exactly the trip we were looking for, including seaplanes, fishing, remote nature and wildlife, as well as incredible food and service. Everyone was helpful, accommodating, friendly, and our guide, Jayden, went above and beyond! We can’t say enough good things and we are already hoping to go back:) 10/10

Get ready for an incredible experience. Start by having a staff that is genuinely concerned about your comfort, needs, and wants. Everything is coordinated for you except your hotel stay the night before or after. Get your Fishing License online before you arrive, or they can process it for you when you are there. The food is delicious, consistent day to day with a presentation worthy of a Michelin rating. My guide was always on time and went the extra mile to make sure I made great catches. Cabins are Rustic Alaska with Memory Foam Mattress, Mosquito Netting, and repellent. They also have netting that goes over a hat to prevent the little pests from biting your head, neck, and face. The fishing was good because of two days of rain and the constant overcast this year due to El Niño. Once the sun popped up the bite was on! For lunch you have the choice of coming back to the lodge, packing sandwiches and even of doing a river campfire cookout. Travel to the lodge is coordinated with Rust’s Flying Service that has a flotilla of sea planes. There is a cabin with a lake for total privacy and a 1/2 mile walk to the river to fly fish or fish from the dock for Pike. It has a caretaker to tend to your needs. This trip fulfilled a dream of a lifetime for me. I trust I can return in the future. Photos don't say it all.

Best retreat! I live in Anchorage and came to the lodge with my daughter to reconnect, unwind, and recharge. Our stay was awesome! The caretakers, Angie and Tommy were soo welcoming, and they treated us like family! They exceeded our expectations by a long-shot and we can’t wait to go back! We stayed in Cabin #4. It was very clean and spacious and had a full kitchen. They even hung a welcome sign with our names on it, outside of the door! Very nice touch💕 Angie and Tommy made sure we had everything we needed. We visited and roasted marshmallows and made s’mores. Best time we’ve had in a long time! Thank you Tommy and Angie, you’re tge best!!!

WPL is an unmatched lodging experience AND an unmatched fishing experience. The staff is over and above thoughtful and work as a team to ensure everyone gets what they want and need from their trip. The culinary staff is exceptional and they even offered a salmon-focused culinary course, teaching the differences between the species you’ll encounter and emphasizing sustainable fishing practices in both the sport and commercial fishing worlds. Lastly, our guide, Ryan, was unbelievably easy to fish with. He was positive, offered improvements or different techniques in a professional, light-hearted way, and tailored the entire schedule to us and what we wanted. This is the best kept secret of Alaskan fishing and I can’t wait to come back some day!
