When I first started guiding in 1997 and throughout the next four seasons, I worked on an incredible river, the Goodnews in Southwest Alaska. I had the pleasure of guiding along side some incredible guides, including my long time friend Jeff Jarret of Jarrett’s Guide Service on the Clearwater in Orofino, Idaho.

Jeff is now branching out his Idaho operation and starting a small all-inclusive lodge based out of the native Yupik village of Goodnews, Alaska. He has arranged great five day all inclusive fishing trips for Kings, Silvers, Chums, Rainbows, Dollies and Grayling and will working out of the village July and August 2009.

He has a few bookings left for his first season and takes a maximum of four anglers per week. This is an incredible opportunity to fish one of the greatest rivers in Alaska for half of what other similar operations are charging. To learn more about these trips, visit Jeff’s Goodnews River Webpage or call him at 208.476.3791

This short film follows a group of friends from a extremely remote Alaskan lake SouthWest 55 miles to the Bering Sea. The stream in this film sees less than four float trips per year and until the late 1990’s was considered unavigable. The first two days of this trip consisted of dragging rafts over endless shallow gravel bars until the South Fork of the river connected with the North Fork some 15 miles from the lake. From there on, it was smooth sailing and constant action. At times, the term every cast was a reality and not an exaggeration. When a fly was cast over a chum or sockeye spawn bed, it was never more than a few seconds before a 16″-25″ rainbow grabbed the presentation. This is the story of the fishing trip of a lifetime.
