You may have noticed that there are numerous client testimonials sprinkled throughout our website, here are a few more from our hundreds of satisfied clients we now call friends!

Over the last 27 years I've spent in excess of 180 days fly fishing with various outfitters throughout the world. I've taken three trips(2005-2007) with Paul Hansen's Alaska Rainbow Adventures to the Alagnak(twice) and Moraine Creek. Each trip always exceeded my expectations for catching fish, scenery and outfitter service. Paul is definitely at the top of my list for professionalism and fishing/river knowledge. I might also add his guides mimic his professionalism. When you're on a trip with Paul and his guides you'll feel like family.

My trip with Paul Hansen and the Alaska Rainbow Adventures staff was absolutely the finest fishing adventure I’ve had to date. Fishing the Alagnak was just unbelievable, the sockeye salmon were plentiful, and the scenery and peaceful surroundings were just phenomenal. The guides were extremely helpful, the equipment was reliable, and the whole operation was first rate. Definitely an experience I would love to repeat.

My first encounter with the wild rivers of Alaska came in 2002 on a memorable float trip with a good friend and fishing buddy, down the Kisaralik River in western Alaska. I quickly became a devotee of this type of adventure, spending numerous summer vacations exploring various Alaskan rivers, and sampling the diverse fishing and camping opportunities available in this beautiful wilderness state.

The economy was depressed in late August 2009. The decision was made to skip our annual vacation. However, for me, the desire to sleep on an Alaskan river bank was all too real and I contacted Paul Hanson of Alaska Rainbow Adventures. He had space available for a trip down Moraine Creek the following week. “Bring a sleeping bag and your fishing gear” he said. “All else is provided”. It was too easy to pass up.

I, and four fellow clients, spent the next seven days, fishing and exploring one of the most spectacular rivers I’ve found in Alaska. The timing couldn’t have been better. The Sockeye salmon were in full spawn, with thousands of fish kicking their way up river, followed by the biggest Rainbow trout I’ve ever encountered. The wildlife proved to be even more spectacular. Every Grizzly bear in the area descended on the river to partake in the Sockeye feast. The bears were so focused on the fish that they paid little attention to the fishermen in our party, so we shared our fishing holes with these fascinating fishing companions.

I brought home over two hours of video footage plus hundreds of photos, mostly of the bears doing what they do in their natural environment. It was a wonderful journey and one that I will never forget. Paul Hanson ran a perfect trip. The food was great, his cots and spacious tents made for comfortable nights and his fishing tips produced record Rainbows for everyone in the party.

Anyone with an interest in fishing and a love of the great outdoors would be well advised to contact Paul Hanson and get on board for one of his great Alaskan adventures.

Alaska fishing and wildlife is incredible! I’ve fished many parts of the world and nothing has compared or been as exciting as my trip on the Alagnak River with Alaska Rainbow Adventures. We booked for late June and the rainbow and sockeye salmon were abundant. As far as the wildlife and scenery, it was truly amazing. We saw at least 30 bear that week on the Alagnak, as well as eagle and moose, and I have great photos to prove it. Paul Hansen and his guides are extremely personable and knowledgeable. The food was excellent; it was just first class all the way. I would highly recommend Alaska Rainbow Adventures to anyone looking for the fishing trip of a lifetime!

Late June is a great time to visit the Alagnak for a float trip with Alaska Rainbow Adventures. Fishing for rainbows and grayling was complimented by the scenery and serenity of the surroundings. Each day we saw eagles, moose plus numerous other mammals and bird species. Alaska Rainbow Adventures provided excellent equipment utilized during our trip. The cuisine never ceased to amaze me, filet minon to shrimp scampi. A month prior to the trip I'd left Paul a message regarding menu items I'd like. I was pleased these items were easily incorporated into his planning. I am looking forward to my next trip with Alaska Rainbow Adventures.

As a guide, lodge owner, and booking agent, it's very difficult for me to give Kudos. I have seen the best. I know good fishing, and hunting operations when I see them. Your guides are world-class guides, and most importantly people. The gear is the finest, and most reliable money can buy. The food is excellent, as well. I'll put your float operation up against any in Alaska. Excellent Job!! Oh and Kudos!
