Copper River Salmon Charters

GUIDED SPORT FISHING TRIPS

We guide professional-quality sport fishing trips on some of the best Alaska fishing rivers. Fish the Tonsina River, Klutina River, Gulkana River, and Copper River with one of our top-level fishing guides. Grove’s is the most experienced fishing guide service in the area. We are located in the heart of Alaska’s Copper River Basin. The Upper Copper River region of Alaska is well-known for its massive run of wild Pacific salmon. The world-famous salmon of this region are prized for their firm texture and high-fat content. Join us to fish for the most coveted stock of wild Pacific salmon in the state of Alaska. We target king (Chinook) salmon, red (sockeye) salmon, silver (coho) salmon, native rainbow trout, arctic grayling, and dolly varden. Our fishing season runs from May to September.

DIP NET TRANSPORT

Salmon Grove offers subsistence dipnet transportation for Alaska residents. Our dipnetting transportation access the “above the bridge” subsistence fishery on the Copper River in Copper Center, Alaska. Our drop-off service is for experienced Alaskan dip-netters. This stretch of the Copper River is the most remote and void of any crowds due to limited access. To participate in the “above the bridge” subsistence fishery users are required to obtain the Glennallen sub-district subsistence permit directly from ADF&G. Permits are available online at the Alaska Department of Fish and Game website. Our dip net season runs June- September.

SELF-GUIDED SALMON FISHING

Salmon Grove Campground on the Klutina River is the perfect place for the self-guided angler to experience some of the best salmon fishing in Alaska. Avid and beginner fishermen alike will enjoy bank-fishing for Copper River red salmon right from the campground. During the red salmon season, when the Klutina River fish are running strong, it is common for everyone in camp to catch a limit of reds. The walk-in fishing for red salmon from the bank will keep any serious sport fisherman busy. We have large freezers, fillet tables, and water available for you to process your fish. Our mission is to make it easy for everyone to access the river and provide a clean place for you to care for your catch.
