By the time mid July gets here

there are already a healthy  number of Rainbow Trout, Arctic Grayling, King, Sockeye, Chum, Pink Salmon and the occasional Northern Pike available as the month wears on, the Goodnews sees an influx of Arctic Char/Dolly Varden (affectionately referred to as "Charlies!") and Coho (Silver) Salmon in epic numbers. In the gin clear waters of the Goodnews it is common to see a literal biomass of fish that span the channel from bank to bank, and nose to tail as they move upriver from Bristol Bay and the Bering Sea.

Alaska Rainbow Adventures was selected by the USFWS as the number one operator of float fishing trips on the Goodnews river and this allows us to offer you the best set of trip dates available for your Alaska experience.  Goodnews River trips are booked on request, as fisherman's deluxe, intimate rivers or fisherman's standard style trips, you can find out more about the different style of trips on our FAQ page. Single anglers may be able to join an existing trip, please check our schedule online for dates and rate information.

Each day becomes a euphoric progression of hearty meals, amazing fishing, wildlife viewing, solitude, and the camaraderie of driftwood fires and the reliving of the days events. It is a veritable Never Never Land for the Fly Fishing Peter Pan in all of us, and all you need are your Happy Thoughts and a confirmed reservation.
