2025 End of Season Report

Date: September 24, 2025

2025 did not disappoint. Thank you to everyone who joined us this summer. So many great memories were made and incredible fish were caught.

The Silvers showed up in astounding numbers right from the start. There was hardly any downtime between the Chrome Kings in July and the Chrome Silvers that began running before the month was over. By late August heavy rains returned, bringing water levels back up and creating perfect conditions for sight fishing in the sloughs which is always a favorite. Guests also enjoyed topwater popper fishing for Silvers which is always a thrilling experience.

While our Dolly Varden season typically tapers off by mid August, we still saw some impressive big ones as Silvers and Sockeye began spawning in the lower river. Toward the end of the season, guests ventured far upriver chasing Silvers and soaking in the stunning scenery. Exploring the different stretches of the Goodnews River by boat always offers a fresh perspective. One group even reported landing over 50 Silvers on the final day, September 10th.

2025 also delivered an incredible year for wildlife sightings including bears, moose, caribou, wolves, eagles and more.

All in all, 2025 was a historic season for many reasons and we cannot wait to see what 2026 brings!
