Copper River Lodge

The Copper is a fly fishing only river holding some of the largest Rainbow Trout in Alaska. This scenic river is easily waded and crossed, and sheltered from the northern winds. It was the first in the state designated as a "fly fishing, catch and release only, trophy rainbow river." There's also excellent Sockeye Salmon fishing in July.
The classic Copper River rarely blows out. 80% of the water in this 22-mile long river originates from a lake, and when it does blow out, it recovers very quickly. It offers long dry fly glides, and some of the best dry fly fishing in Alaska in June and July. Deep, undercut banks add to the excitement.
The Copper River Lodge is the only lodge located directly on this world famous river. No need to boat in '“ just walk down to the water and cast your line. It also holds the only permit to trespass and fish the Copper, so you and your guide can access the upper waters that few others have had the opportunity to fish. The Lodge also has a boat for accessing other great fishing locations like the Gibraltar River.
