Trip Planning Driving Directions to Cooper Landing From Anchorage… From Soldotna… From Seward… Meeting Time and Location Trip departure times and meeting locations vary based on fishing conditions, time of season, and your travel schedule. Once you have made a reservation we will discuss a tentative meeting time and location. We will then contact you at least 24 hours in advance to confirm the meeting place and time. What We Provide  • 20’ Kenai-style Willie drift boat (suitable for up to four anglers)• Professional fly fishing and casting instruction • Quality fly rods & reels (R.L. Winston Rods / Ross & Galvan Reels) • Custom hand-tied flies and leaders • Felt soled hip boots (sizes 5-13) • Cooler packed with sandwiches, snacks, and hot and cold beverages What You Need to Bring In order to remain comfortable and make the most of your Alaskan fishing trip you should come prepared for a variety of weather conditions and experiences. Our boats have plenty of dry storage space to stow your belongings. Do not hesitate to bring along items that could make your day more enjoyable. From our experience we highly recommend you bring the following items. Warm Clothes - Dress in layers and try to wear fleece and/or wool clothing (avoid wearing cotton as best as you can). Recommendations include: fleece jacket, extra pair of warm socks, gloves, wool or fleece hat, and a brimmed hat (i.e. ball cap). Rain Gear – Bring quality waterproof jacket and pants. Do not short yourself here. Our trips run rain or shine! Believe me you do not want to be out on the river all day in a cheap rain poncho. Chest Waders and Boots – Although we provide hip waders, we strongly recommend you bring your own breathable chest waders, if you have them. Please do not bring studded wading boots. To avoid the possibility of spreading aquatic invasive parasites and diseases from one river to another we recommend using rubber soled wading boots. Polarized Sunglasses – Not only do polarized sunglasses protect your eyes from harmful UV rays but they will reduce glare off the water and help you see fish. Camera – If you want to document your fishing experience we recommend bringing a camera or video camera. We practice catch and release on rainbow trout and Dolly Varden so taking pictures will be the only way to document your catch of these species. Please stow your camera in a dry bag (or zip-lock bag) to avoid getting your camera wet. Fishing License – An Alaskan fishing license valid for the day of your trip is required. It is critical that you purchase your fishing license in advance. You can purchase a license at most convenient stores or gas stations once you are in Alaska. However, the easiest method is purchasing it online before you arrive. Click here - buy your fishing license now!
