The River Crew

The River Crew offers 3, 5, and 8 hour fishing trips that are customized to fit the guest. Their 3-hour trip is a private boat charter with guide and puts you on the big fish quickly so that you can enjoy 2-3 hours of fishing.

Your guided fishing trip begins with an experienced guide, which is important for such a dynamic river as the Kenai. You are also outfitted with quality fishing gear and are paired with a beautifully crafted Willie Boat. All you need to bring is a fishing license and yourself. The guide will do the rest including putting on you the big Fish.

While there are many Kenai River fishing guides to choose from...when you book with The River Crew expect an experienced and professional fishing guide as well as high quality boats & equipment.

Now is always the best time to book and that is because space goes quickly. For King Salmon Late May through end of July is the fishing seaon and if that's your ticket, book the season before your trip. For Silver Salmon, the season is August 1-through Mid-October and this is one of the biggest draws to the Kenai. Silver Salmon are world-class fighters and this river system grows them big. For big Trophy Rainbow Trout, August 1- late September is the prime time., though Rainbows are available all season long. You tend to have better luck targeting the big Rainbows a month or so after the King Salmon have finished their spawning. Sockeye appear around June 1 and they do so by the Millions. You fish for Sockeye using a "flossing" method which drops your hoo to the river bottom at which point you "floss" it along the bottom hoping to hook a Sockeye. These are plankton eaters, and they don't strike a fly, but they do swim with their mouths open - hance the flossing.
