Typical trip flow and extras A typical trip with The River Crew begins with departure from Anchorage and travel to the selected river access point. Anglers are escorted to secluded sandbars or banks in Willie Boats where guides set up tackle, demonstrate techniques, and provide hands-on coaching. On some Kasilof and Kenai red salmon days the river produces exceptionally dense runs, and anglers often encounter non-stop action from shore or sandbar locations. Full-day King and Silver trips focus on targeted presentations with premium Gloomis rods to tempt larger Chinook and Coho. Private charters allow concentrated time on high-quality water for anglers seeking customized instruction or group-focused experiences. Photographers will find ample photo opportunities; several trips specifically note bringing a camera for memorable catches. Filleting service is commonly provided so anglers can take cleaned fillets home.
