Fishing & Guided Activities

The best Alaska fishing lodges will offer the angler a combination of both fly-out fishing to nearby streams and trophy fishing on their "Home" river. Alaska Rainbow Lodge is located on the Kvichack River, home to Alaska's biggest Rainbow Trout. From ARL you are a 15-25 minute flight to the best and most famous Trophy Rainbow Trout wade fly fishing streams in Bristol Bay.

Guests of Alaska Rainbow Lodge have fantastic angling opportunities. You will have access to every stream in the famous Bristol Bay area of Western Alaska - 30 in all. The benefit of choosing to visit ARL is that whether you decide to fly-out to fish a nearby stream or stay and experience the wonders that Kvichak River has to offer, your fishing day will be filled with adventure and excitement. All of these fly-outs are included in the package price.

Alaska Rainbow Lodge will fish by wading, drifting, casting, or plugging. You can fly fish or use conventional gear. There are streams that are designated as fly fishing only areas, and there are rivers that allow either fly fishing or the use of conventional gear. The type of fishing you do is you choice. Alaska Rainbow Lodge practices fly fishing only for Rainbow Trout, Arctic Char, & Grayling, and all are catch and release. Alaska Fly Fishing in Bristol Bay is the best on the planet.
