Cooper Landing, Alaska is the perfect jump-off point for fly fishing for Salmon and Rainbow Trout on the Kenai River. Nestled in the Chugach Mountains, our town is one of the most scenic and productive fishing destinations on earth.

The turquoise waters of the "Upper" are famously productive for massive Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden, and migrating Sockeye and Silver Salmon. Our Kenai River Fishing Guides and Charters operate out of Cooper Landing to give you access to this world-renowned "drift-only" section of the river.
