Why an Alaska Float Fishing Trip?

Posted on November 1, 2023March 7, 2025 by guides@akrainbow.com

An Alaska float fishing trip with Alaska Rainbow Adventures can be an excellent time for you and your fellow anglers or family members for several reasons:

Breathtaking Scenery: The Waters of SW Alaska we operate on, the Togiak, Kanektok, and Goodnews rivers, are all surrounded by stunning natural beauty, and a float fishing trip with us allows you to immerse yourself in this pristine wilderness. You’ll be surrounded by majestic mountains, crystal-clear rivers, and abundant wildlife, making it a memorable experience for nature lovers and anglers alike.

World-Class Fishing: These epic Alaska waters are renowned for their exceptional fishing opportunities, and while we specialize in fly fishing for trophy-sized rainbow trout, salmon, and other freshwater species, we welcome all anglers. The epic Alaska waters we can take you to are teeming with fish, providing you with a chance to catch some of the largest and most sought-after species in the world.

Guided Expertise: Alaska Rainbow Adventures typically provides experienced fishing guides who are intimately familiar with the local waters. They can offer valuable insights, techniques, and tips to help both novice and experienced anglers have a successful and enjoyable fishing experience.

For families and groups, a float fishing trip is an opportunity for you to bond and share a unique adventure together. Spending time in the wilderness, working together to catch fish, and enjoying the tranquility of nature can create lasting memories and strengthen your relationships.

Unplug: These remote locations lack cell phone reception and internet access, allowing you and your fellow anglers or family to unplug from the digital world and fully immerse yourselves in the natural surroundings.

Wildlife: Alaska is home to a diverse array of wildlife, and while on your trip, you may have the chance to see bears, eagles, moose, and other animals in their natural habitat, adding to the excitement of the journey.

Relaxation: Despite the adventure, a float fishing trip can also be a relaxing experience. The sound of the flowing water, the campfires under the starry Alaskan sky, and the absence of urban noise make for a peaceful and stress-relieving getaway.

Here at Alaska Rainbow Adventures, we are committed to responsible and sustainable fishing practices, ensuring the protection of the environment for the indigenous peoples of the region and the longevity of fish populations. Overall, an Alaska float fishing trip with us offers a unique and memorable experience in a pristine natural setting, making it an excellent choice for anglers and families seeking adventure, relaxation, and a deep connection with the Alaskan wilderness.

The ideal time to schedule a Kanektok or Goodnews River float trip with us here at Alaska Rainbow Adventures can vary depending on a few factors. If you want to secure specific dates during the peak fishing season or if you have a larger group or require multiple spots on a trip. Keep in mind that with the popularity of our Kanektok and Goodnews River float trips, you need to plan well in advance to secure the dates and experience you desire.

About Us

Step into the current with Alaska Rainbow Adventures and you're stepping into the real Alaska — not the polished lodge version, not the brochure fantasy. For more than three decades, we've run rivers the way they're meant to be run: the Kanektok, Goodnews, Alagnak, Moraine, Arolik, and Togiak. Wild water. Wild fish. Country that doesn't bend for anyone.

This whole thing started with one guide, Paul Hansen, chasing the kind of days that get under your skin and stay there. A mouse‑eat in the half‑light. A bend in the river no one else will see that day. A rainbow flashing in the sun like it owns the place. Those moments hit you in the ribs and remind you why you came north. That feeling is the reason we're still out here.

Our trips are built the way Alaska demands: small groups, real wilderness, and gear that holds up when the weather decides to test you. Big tents you can stand in. Hot meals cooked beside the river. Guides who know every braid and every mood swing these waters can throw. With exclusive USFWS permits and miles of river to ourselves, every float is unhurried, unfiltered, and honest.

This isn't a vacation.
This is the real deal — take it or leave it.

It's a week where the noise drops away, the river calls the shots, and you remember what it feels like to be fully present in a place that doesn't care about your inbox or your deadlines. You don't just fish here — you feel the country in your bones.

Come see what's waiting for you!
