Fly out trips to remote fishing destinations in Alaska offer the ultimate experience many anglers dream of. Ever since we took over Rainbow Bend Lodges, fly out fishing trips have been a big part of what we have to offer anglers from around the world. Because we have our own personal dock, float planes can pick you up right outside the front door of your cabin. And due to our location so close to town, we can offer these fly out fishing adventures at reduced rates compared to other high end lodges in this part of Alaska.
If you really want to get lost in nature, a fly out fishing adventure to remote corners of Alaska will allow you to do just that. You’ll be out of cell range and in touch with nature, the way it used to be. You’ll not get that feeling by staying at a fancy lodge or hanging out on rivers near the road system.
Once you touch foot in remote Alaska, you often get an instantaneous jolt of reality as to just where you are. On a fly out trip last August with four of our clients at Rainbow Bend Lodges, we stepped out of the float plane, walked on the pontoon to reach the sandy shore, looked down and saw it was covered in fresh brown bear tracks. We knew we were in remote Alaska, and everyone loved it.
As if the stunning scenery–both in flight and on foot–isn’t enough, there’s the fish. If yearning to experience truly world-class fishing for more, bigger, and less pressured fish, then a fly out fishing trips to remote Alaska are for you.
If looking to pursue exotic species like Arctic char, Arctic grayling, and salmon that have never seen another angler, fly outs are the best way to find such action. Will fly outs always produce big, beautiful fish? No, but they will provide an experience you can’t get any other way.
The best part about fly out fishing trips in Alaska, could be the unforeseen opportunities they afford. Yes, we’d all like to catch big fish and spend an entire day without bumping into other anglers. Those are often givens when it comes to fly outs to remote rivers and streams in Alaska. But where fly outs really shine, are in the bonuses they offer. Nowhere can you encounter Alaska’s wildlife like on a fly out. Big brown bears, moose, caribou, and the rich bird life is what makes these remote fly out fishing adventures so special.
The feeling of solitude one gets from a fly out is the best therapy there is. From the wide open spaces on sunny days, to feelings of confinement 
emanating from spending an entire day tightly wrapped in rain gear, hood snugged to the face, allow your mind to run free. Your level of self-sufficiency on these journeys takes the experience of fishing to another level.
Some streams are technical, and the fish, finicky, causing you to think deeper in order to find success. Getting lost in those thoughts are memorable, especially when your goals are achieved.
At day’s end, the feelings you get when you hear the whining engine of an approaching bush plane are difficult to explain to someone who has never been on a remote fly out. The approaching plane marks the end of a glorious day which can be a let down because you don’t want it to end.
Admiring Alaska’s beauty as you fly away from the stream you just fished all day, you realize how truly special the time was. The only way to f
ully appreciate what an Alaska fly out fishing adventure is all about, is to go experience it for yourself, and that’s why we’re here.
