Alaska Rainbow Lodge

FreshwaterBristol Bay — Kvichak River

Founded in 1982 on the Kvichak River in Bristol Bay, Alaska Rainbow Lodge sends its guests out every day by Beaver floatplane to roughly 30 rivers and streams, and works the Kvichak itself by jet boat. Every rainbow is released; salmon may be kept up to the state limit, and the lodge processes them. Weeks run Friday to Friday, usually with two anglers to a guide.
