Gwins Lodge Alaska
There's a fish with your name on it in Cooper Landing, and Gwins Lodge Alaska will help you catch it!
Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Dolly Varden, Halibut, Rockfish, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Lingcod, Salmon, Coho Salmon, Sockeye Salmon, and anything else that bites. For these species, you're likely to spin using heavy tackle. Your captain also offers fly fishing.
Young ones are welcome, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!
Your guide will bring you aboard a 20' Willie drift boat with space for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, as well as lures.
Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
Don't leave home without sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Flossed for salmon in a full day trip. Guide well versed in the river and attending to clients on the eqipment and best places for fishing.
Cooper Landing, Alaska, United States
I moved to Cooper Landing 14 years ago and purchased Gwin's Lodge, fishing is very much part of the community, and is one of the main reasons I am even here. The Kenai River is a speacial place, especially this upper river and its origins as it flows out of Kenai Lake. Not only does this place boast some of the largest salmon runs in the world, but is also one of the best opportunities on earth for trophy wild run rainbows. Just sharing that with guests from around the world makes it even better. Come see us at Gwin's Lodge, not only do we offer excellent guided fishing, but can accommodate your stay at Gwin's Lodge. From comfy cabins, amazing food, a beer at the bar with guests and guides just getting off the river, the ultimate Upper Kenai river destination.
