A True Wilderness Expedition The Goodnews River, accessible only by floatplane, is a roadless paradise where every comfort of your trip is flown in. This remote region boasts remarkably low fishing pressure, ensuring untouched waters and abundant opportunities. Unlike lodge-based trips, our multi-day float adventures allow you to traverse nearly sixty miles of pristine waters from the river's headwaters to the Bering Sea. You’ll discover new, unpressured fishing spots every day, offering a deep and authentic immersion in the stunning Alaskan backcountry.

Our exclusive special use permit allows us to offer six prime start dates each year for float fishing trips on the renowned Goodnews River, heralded as one of Alaska’s top fishing destinations. Spanning just under sixty miles, this river provides ample wading opportunities while maintaining a comfortable float, making it the ideal choice for your Alaska float fishing adventure.

Unrivaled Goodnews River Fishing: Target All 5 Salmon Species & Trophy Trout The Goodnews River is famed for its rich fisheries, offering the remarkable opportunity to target all five species of Pacific Salmon, Arctic Char, sea-run Dolly Varden, and resident Leopard Rainbow Trout and Grayling. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or just starting out, our expert guides will customize our services and techniques—from fly fishing to spin fishing—to suit your needs, ensuring a memorable and successful trip.

Experience the thrill of catching: King Salmon (Chinook) and Chum Salmon (Dog): June to mid-July, Sockeye Salmon (Red): Late June to mid-July, Silver Salmon (Coho): Late July through September (renowned as one of the best Coho runs in Alaska!), Pink Salmon: Mid-summer, even years, Trophy Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden, Arctic Char, and Grayling: Available all season.
