Rental s for a month in SD, WY or other maskless places?

You can go to the Alaskan wilderness, where there is about three people and trillions of hungry salmon, for about the same price as a week's vacation in the lower 48. There's no sleep involved with that trip, though. It never gets dark and you can see those salmon swimming around your feet 24 hours per day. It'll drive a weak man crazy.

hmm, when I went to Alaska a couple years ago things were really expensive. I'd be interested to know how you do it on the cheap

I’d be interested in that too. A few years back I was having lunch after after several of us had been trout fishing here in TN. One guy at the table was talking about going, he had heard it was an inexpensive trip. Those that had been, well....we just chuckled. After the guy did his research he wound up booking a week long trip to the White River in Arkansas.....LOL. So much for his Alaska trip...it ain’t cheap.

Alaska isn't cheap even back 20 years ago I went. Unless you just take a plane in and bush craft in rough country that is, still quite costly to staying in the lower 48. Heck milk was $8 a gallon their in 99 in Anchorage. I can't believe you hadn't mapped out a trip by now, pretty easy and a whole bunch of good ideas been tossed your way. I took a spur of the moment trip a few weeks ago, fished Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Colorado in a week. Expenses less then a $1,000.00 for the trip. Crappie.com is great and all, but we can't map out your trip for you. Procrastinating doesn't get things done brother, get to living my friend! Plenty of America to see and fishing to do!

Several have mentioned that Alaska fishing is expensive. What would you consider "expensive" for 5-6 days of fishing for salmon in Alaska?

Depends on your trip and lodging. A week in Alaska with lodging, fishing and necessities covered depending on group size $5,000 to $7,000 be in the ballpark of what would be cheap "reasonable" with 4 or more people. Best consider about 25% more than that after gratuity and all. Drive your own vehicle, pack your own tents and rough it and cut that number in half easily. Depends on the experience folks want. Outfitters, guides, lodge and shop keeps are no different then ours, they have to make a living as well!

Sorry, I should have mentioned I was asking about a per person cost that would be considered expensive.

Snubby: The $5,000 to $7000 you mentioned; would that be for all four people or is that a per person rate?

We spend no more than $3000 each for 10 days in Alaska Including air travel from N.C., lodging and meals. Jet tickets are usually @ $700 ( much cheaper than that this year) and the float plane is @ $250/person for 100 miles or so. Lodging and meals have been about $175/ night in the past. Not sure what it’ll be this year. By the time you tip folks at the lodge, it’s right at $3000. I’m headed there next week.

I’m not talking about motels and restaurants. I’m talking about a plywood shack surrounded by a few thousand square miles of rivers and spruce trees.

Snubby:

You misunderstood my questions. I wanted to know what people perceived as "expensive", not looking for a place to go.

I was wondering if the place I have gone to over a dozen times was considered by most people to be "expensive" as I know what the trips cost me.

Thanks for your suggestion, however.
