Guided Copper River Salmon Fishing Trips

Fish the Tonsina River, Klutina River, Gulkana River, and Copper River with one of our top-level fishing guides. Our guided sport fishing trips target king and red salmon along with native rainbow trout, arctic grayling, and dolly varden. Full-day and half-day trips are available, and our professional guides handle river navigation, and safety, so you can focus on catching fish.

Dip Net Transport on the Copper River

Salmon Grove offers subsistence dip net transportation for Alaska residents, accessing the “above the bridge” Glennallen sub-district fishery on the Copper River. Our drop-off service is for experienced Alaskan dip-netters who want remote access without the crowds. Obtain your subsistence permit from ADF&G and let us handle the boat transport from the campground.

Self-Guided Salmon Fishing from Camp

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. During the red salmon season, it is common for everyone in camp to catch a limit of reds right from the bank. Walk-in fishing from your campsite, use our tackle shop and rentals, and store your catch in our large freezers.

Whitewater Rafting & Scenic River Tours

Float the slow, gentle waters of the Gulkana River, enjoy whitewater rafting on the Klutina River, or feel the force of the massive Copper River with our expert guides. Choose day trips, overnight campouts, or multi-day expeditions. Customize your river adventure to match your schedule and style. Enjoy wildlife viewing, glacier-fed scenery, and Alaska’s remote wilderness.

Beautiful; fantastic; excellent service and friendly staff. Best experience I ever had on a fishing/camping excursion. My son and I spent 4days/3 nights fishing with Jeremy on the beautiful Gulkana River and had a blast. Caught lots of fish, ate extremely well, and enjoyed the conversation in the raft. Will definitely return next year. I strongly recommend you do as well.

We love this place! Has everything we need and a friendly and helpful staff. Dan and Stephanie are just awesome! Met many great folks here and fished an incredible king run. We caught sockeye right at camp and stayed three days in our RV right on the river! We really liked the tackle shop and all the help getting rigged up right with our rods. We will be back!!
