Why do Lodges in Alaska insist on selling lodging/fishing packages to everyone who wants to vacation there?
I had the hardest time finding a Lodge in Alaska when I went there on vacation that would allow me to design my own vacation itenary, instead of being tied to the guides they require and all the activities they dictate. I am very happy with the Salmon Catcher Lodge, which allowed me to design my own activities.

Well, it’s nothing unusual. You can find this type of behavior at many other places, where they ‘force’ you to buy packages that you really don’t want. Why is this? Simply because they can earn much more with packages like that. Of course, it is also true that probably the majority of people are actually looking for such complete packages.
I have the same problem like you and it actually happened that I gave up on certain places and went somewhere else because I just couldn’t find a place where I could decide what to do.
I’d say, we’re the suffering minority here…
