ICE ICE BABY! Keeping your catch cold is the surest way to preserve the taste & texture of this premium catch!

We are excited to be the only dipnet charter in Alaska to include ice onboard as part of your charter. While underway our crew will layer ice over your catch to ensure your harvest is kept cold and fresh for the duration of your charter.

We don't guarantee fish or limits but promise to put you in the best position possible to maximize your opportunity to dipnet salmon. Factors outside our control include but are not limited to run timing, river conditions, and an individual's skill level. These factors can impact fishing success. As such, we don't offer refunds based on fishing success.

Guides and Deckhands work extremely hard to ensure your trip on the Copper River is safe and memorable regardless of fishing success. Please consider a tip of 10-20% of booking total in recognition of their hard efforts both on the boat and in preparation of your charter.
