Destination: Cedar Ridge Lake Retreat Route Briefing
Cedar Ridge Lake Retreat A fine fly fisherman's dream retreat. Tucked back into the beautiful Misty Fjords scenery in a location you will have to "find." This is an area that is dotted with tents for camping, docks for your boats and a nice small lodging facility. This is a popular destination and it is highly likely there will be other people enjoying the lakes and surrounding area's various attractions. Do not be surprised in the right season to hear the occasional crack of a hunting Rifle! The plan is to find yourself a good spot to pitch a tent and set up your campsite, then get to fishing. There is a fine head of recently stocked Arctic Char in the lake, much prized for both their fighting ability and eating quality! WaveTop VFR Plan FROM : Loring, AK Sea Plane Base (13Z) Leg: Loring SPB to Indian Point Swing your aircraft around to about 272 to line up for a take off to Indian Point about 2.5 miles ahead. Leg: Indian Point to Francis Cove You will be slowing turning to starboard staying just off shore after Indian Point. Start at a heading of 307 and come to 357. You will see a "rectangle shaped" Francis Cove come on your starboard side. Leg:Francis Cove to Bushy Point At Francis Cove, change your heading to 328 for Bushy Point. You will be flying a little off-shore with the shore to starboard. One key feature you will pas to starboard is Traitor's Cove, a narrow inlet into the starboard shore. Bushy point is the sharp point ahead on the starboard shore, notice the cliff just past it to starboard..
NOTAM: watch for a cliff to starboard, be sure to stay about a mile off shore. Leg: Bushy Point to Brow Point As you fly from Bushy Point to Brow Point, you will be passing Neets Bay to Starboard. This is a fairly good sized bay. Brow Point is the next point ahead of Gegney Inlet. You will be turning to starboard into Gegney Inlet. Leg: Brow Point to Dress Point When you are at Brow Point, begin to turn to starboard into the Gegney Pass, staying just offshore, but coming to 070 down the center of Gegney Pass.. Gegney Island will pass to port as you make the turn. Follow the inlet to where it seems to end. Dress Point is the point to port where the pass begins to close Leg: Dress Point to Cedar Ridge Lake Retreat At Dress Point, you will see to channels ahead. Take the channel to starboard and follow it. Get into landing configuration for a water landing. The lake opens up a little and you should alter your course a little to port since the Cedar Ridge Lake Retreat is on the port shore only 2 miles ahead. Doug Linn (Revised 07.07.2012) |
