Goodnews River Lodge

Floated the Goodnews in 2022. Was harassed by the guides on the lower river. Especially by a guide with long red hair I beleive his name was kyle. We were camping on a gravel bar about a 1/4 mile above their camp. It was a great hole, but they didn't want us there. The guides would intentionally run their boats over our hole. Best hole on the river GPS location 59.1413, -161.46326. I'd camp there again just for spite.

Have you ever wanted to go out to last American frontier and fish the rivers of Alaska for salmon, trout, dolly varden, and Arctic grayling? Want to fish a river system where the Lodge that you're fishing is the only one there? That place is the Goodnews River Lodge! I have been there almost 20 times.Rooms: 5/5

Our group did an unguided float trip down the goodnews and had planned to book a stay at the lodge the following year until we got on the river.. the goodnews river guides treated us poorly and almost hit our rafts several times with their river boats we had right of way floating downstream. They even had the audacity to flip us off when their clients weren’t looking. Needless to say they lost business from 15 costumers for the next season. The lack of respect was enough for me to write a review. Consider this next time you’re booking a trip with this lodge.

Fantastic lodge, guides and fishing. My trip there was an unforgettable experience and the best week of fishing I've experienced anywhere. Slayed Kings, Chums, Pinks, Sockeye, Dolly Varden, Grayling, and Trout on fly rods while enjoying a very comfortable camp with first class staff, food and accommodations.

This is a great camp to stay and even better to fish at. The location could not be more remote witch is a pluss. The only camp on the river and its a cool one. The staff could not be friendlier. They prepared 3 great meals everyday and took very good care of us.

The best fishing, lodging,food and fun one can have in the remote Alaskan wilderness. The candy salmon is off the hook!

When good enough isn't good enough...this place is simply the best. For a remote Alaskan fishing adventure, you cannot do better.

Enjoyed it very much Rooms: 4/5
