And whatever you do, don't stand in the water in front of the bank fishermen unless you want hooks caught in your waders. You will catch more reds from the bank!
That's true. I've landed hundreds, perhaps thousands of reds and 95% of them were within 15 feet of the bank. But perhaps the OP already knows this. that's why I asked. Whether or not you can keep your feet dry depends on the spot and how far out other anglers have wandered. At the Russian Kenai confluence, the most popular red spot in the whole state, there's a dropoff 10 feet out and that's what the fish follow, but fishermen often go out a few feet and push the fish out when they do.
