Fishing Trip to O'Brien Creek Chitina/Copper River

My recent trip to Chitina for salmon fishing on Copper River with family and friend are fantastic. We drove about 315 miles (one way) from Fairbank to O'Brien Creek Chitina. The trip was great but we end up not fishing because the water was so high, nobody was catching anything from the shore. There were people who came in with the boat and they caught a fish.

We pretty much just end up looking around, enjoying the scenery, and camping. 


Here are few pictures of famous O'Brien creek
