Klutina Salmon Charters & Campground

Everyone is friendly and it’s a great time even when you’re not fishing. You won’t be disappointed. – Ross and Paula Beal
These are great people. Very accommodating. And well-equipped to provide the gear and licensing you need for salmon fishing on the Klutina.

Good News! We are open this summer for camping and fishing! We will open June 1st. Our number one goal this summer will be to keep our customers and staff safe. In order to do that we will do a few things differently this summer. You can find the full text of our current mitigation plans on our COVID19 Mitigation Plan page. Things will look and operate a bit differently this summer but the fish will still be in the river and there will still be great fishing and camping!

I've lived in Alaska for over 20 years and if you want the REAL Alaska fishing experience this is your charter. Glenn and his staff work harder than any other charter I've fished with to give every client a world class, fun, safe & exciting fishing trip. The campground is remote enough to feel like you are camping in the Alaska wilderness and, at the same time, accommodating enough to feel comfortable whether in an RV, a cabin or a tent. The guides are professional, knowledgeable, safety oriented, and above all focused, driven & excited to put you on fish. Jake was a pleasure to meet & hangout with for the day. He is right up there with the best guides I've been out with in Alaska, not bad for a young fella from Michigan. There is no doubt he sincerely loves that river, the fish, and sharing it all with clients of all ages. Family owned and operated, Klutina Salmon Charters is the BEST deal for an Alaskan Fishing Charter. They will give you that bucket-list trip of a lifetime and a chance to experience what we Alaskans live for, all the beauty and excitement our 49th State has to offer. Don't waste your time on those crazy Alaskan reality shows on tv, come see it for yourself with Glenn & Jake and the rest of the crew at Klutina Salmon Charters. Take it from an Alaskan, you will not be disappointed. And if you're from Alaska looking for somewhere to fish, leave your gear at home, take the family to Copper Center and let Glenn and his boys do the work and put you on some monster fish. Thanks again Glenn & Jake for a GREAT day on the river, see you next year! -Pam Kelly & Family, Fairbanks Alaska #FISHON

Jake was amazing!! We heard that it was a tough season for King’s entering the charter and almost backed out. Sooooo glad we didn’t! Jake was the man and took us to all the spots and was a great coach. There was 4 of us in the group and all 4 of us landed a King!!! Would definitely set up another tour. Thank you Jake for everything you did for our group. A truly amazing experience. -Brad Smith
I had a blast through these guys! Glenn is a great guide and he gets you on the fish in a hurry! That was definitely the highlight of my summer. Thanks for treating us like family – Madi Dehart
We had the best day fishing with Jake!! I was nervous when we got there and he made me feel at ease and took great care of me and my family. You MUST come fish the Klutina with them!! -Katrina Martolano
My wife and I along with my two sons have been coming here for 18 years… -Richard Glynn
What a great group!! We have been fishing here for years, always had great guides! We fished two mornings (7/16 and 7/18 2018) with Andrew and have never had anyone any more personable, kind and considerate than him. He was safety conscious and knew where and how to catch kings. We gladly recommend them whenever anyone mentions Alaska fishing!Looking forward to next year !!

I love the crew at Klutina Salmon Charters! Brought some of my seasonal worker friends here for the first time and they had an absolute blast. They said it was "Hands down, the coolest thing they have done all summer." Guides Kevin and Jake were super patient and knowledgeable on the river, the fishing, and the area. This place is an absolute gem!
-Rachel Janine
We had a great time with Klutina Salmon Charters! From start to finish it was 100% positive. Thank you Glen for such an easy and seamless booking, for your enthusiasm, and for encouraging me to get my hands dirty and actually fish with the group!
We did two days on the river. Kevin was a great guide on day 1, and was especially patient with me. He did a great job teaching me what to do and how to be most efficient.
Day 2 was amazing. Jake, you were a total blast and our group flat out rocked. I sincerely appreciated his visual demonstrations for fishing, signs of bites, what to do, etc.
Campground was clean and easy. The folks there were friendly and it truly felt as if we landed in a place amongst friends. Could not have asked for more!
Thanks guys! Keep killin’ it on the Klutina!
-Celina Ramsdale

So where to start'
What can I say but a massive
thank you.
fantastic family and employees you have there.
I can not thank you all enough for the overwhelming kindness help enthusiasm encouragement fun and memorable days you and your team gave to me and Michele.
It was way over and above.
The knowledge you all have of the river and tips for fishing the patients help on and off the charter Jake and kevin gave us just brilliant!
Shows just how much you all love what you do and you want so much for others to experience.
But then to finish off with Michele who has never fish in her life to land a 40+lb king salmon was the icing on the cake.
We booked two nights ended up staying four worth every minute fantastic
Thank you all
And yes we are hooked on fishing now
So will be back to see you all next year
Calgary Canada to your place worth every mile. - Paul Simister
