The Copper River is one of the premier wild rainbow rivers in Alaska;
and considered by many, one of the premier rivers in the world. It
is a State of Alaska designated "trophy rainbow river" and
regulated to "fly fishing only; catch and release." It is
this designation that has kept the fishing on the river so outstanding.
The Copper River Lodge is a small lodge that caters to only six people
per week. This ensures personal service, and a relaxing atmosphere
that is hard to find in the larger lodges of Alaska. You'll find our
staff to be very experienced, polite and professional. This is why
over 70% of our guests have fished with us before.
We also offer fly out trips to the upper Copper to reach water not
accessible by jet boat. These trips do involve an additional charge
(typically about $120) but keep in mind that if weather doesn't permit
flying you don't pay for it -- unlike the fly-out lodges that charge
a premium price whether you fly or not. Additionally, we access the
Gibraltor river (about a 45 minute ride) by means of a comfortable
20ft lake boat.
