    I spent 20 years fly fishing all over Alaska when I was a helicopter mechanic in the bush. I drove by or flew over the Goodnews many times. I always wanted to float it with a fly rod but only stopped briefly to catch grayling a couple times. I had a friend float it and he told me it was amazing.

      Your friend was right: the Goodnews River is a spectacular river system that offers exceptional fishing opportunities for all five species of Pacific Salmon, as well as Dolly Varden/Char and resident species like Rainbow Trout and Grayling. Located in one of the most scenic areas of Alaska, the Goodnews River features three forks—two of which are navigable for Alaska Rainbow Adventures—providing various options for a float trip with us.

    Saltwater fishing is my new obsession The variety of fish you can catch is amazing! Do you prefer saltwater or freshwater fishing?

      Some of us have done significant saltwater fishing for fun or commercial work here in Alaska. But what we do at Alaska Rainbow Adventures is not just about fishing. It’s an adventure, a passion project grown out of a desire to share the Alaska experience with others in a way few get to see, let alone experience. We offer multi-day wilderness float trips where the people and everything on the trip get flown via float-equipped aircraft into the headwaters lake of the river; we will spend the next seven to ten days floating, fishing, and camping, embarking on an exciting journey through the Alaskan wilderness.

      Rods:
      Salmon: A 8-10 weight fly rod is ideal for targeting salmon species
      Trout: A 6-7 weight fly rod is perfect for catching trout species like Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden, and Arctic Grayling.
      Reels:
      Opt for a large arbor reel with a good drag system to handle the powerful runs of salmon and large trout.

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!
