7 Nights and 8 days on the North Fork of the Goodnews is one of the Crown Jewels of Bristol Bay float Fly Fishing trips. We refer to this 70-mile float as the “Grand Slam” week; you have the opportunity to catch every species we target on the Goodnews. All 5 species of Pacific Salmon, Grayling, and Rainbows, in addition to incredible numbers of Dolly Varden Char and even Lake Trout. This river produces more “best day of my life” testimonials among our guests than any other for good reason. The fishery is very, very robust and it becomes apparent almost immediately. The scenery is outstanding from alpine headwaters to the estuary. Wildlife is abundant. The Mountains will surround us until our final day, a trait unique to the North Fork of the Goodnews. The ecosystem deserves the reputation among our guests as “The River of Life.” Free refills of fish are streaming into the river during our entire float making the week on this amazing river a profound experience for both expert anglers and entry-level fly casters.
