The Goodnews River Lodge is located in a remote corner of Southwest Alaska about 450 miles from Anchorage, at the edge of the pristine Togiak National Wildlife Refuge. As the ONLY full service fishing lodge on the entire 3 branch river system, you will experience World Class fishing, as well as the solitude and peaceful beauty of Alaska as it should be.  It’s just you and the fish.  No crowds. No flying to the “best” river.  It’s all here on the Goodnews River, and it’s all yours to enjoy.

The 3 forks of the Goodnews River flow out of the Ahklun Mountains, and wander through the Togiak National Refuge as they make their way to the Bering Sea.  There are over 490 miles of fish-able streams, braids, creeks and river branches for you to enjoy, all without seeing another angler.  The Lodge itself is located on the North Fork of the river, which is the main branch, right at the upper edge of tidewater, and just 7 miles from Goodnews Bay.  From there our jetboats can easily access all 3 forks of the river, as well as the lower tidewater sections.  Chrome bright Salmon, most still with sea lice, are the norm.  These fish are fresh and feisty, and will challenge your angling skills.  Resident Leopard Rainbows and Grayling live in all areas of the river, and follow the salmon upriver as they get ready for their spawning rituals.  It’s a river system as nature intended, with no trace of human interference besides you and your guide.
