Alaska Fly Fishing:: Rainbow Trout

(*note: due the obvious unpredictability of nature, all peak times except opening day are approximate.)

…They're so big we named our lodge after them.

Looking for the largest rainbows on the planet? This is THE place. The size and aggressiveness of our "leopard bows" compelled the State of Alaska to designate our home water, the Copper River, as a "fly fishing, catch and release only, trophy rainbow river," a designation that has kept the fishing spectacular.

Peak Times*:
June 8th (Opening day) – July 8
September 1- October 31

Our Alaska trout fishing guides know all aspects of Alaska Trout fishing: DRY FLIES, STREAMERS, TOP WATER MOUSING and EGG or BEAD fishing. Toss a mouse, strip it back and look for the big wake. Baaa-dum. Baaa-dum. Baaa-dum.
