I've been up there three times in the past five years. Fished with a good outfitter out of Soldatna called Rod N' Reel Alaskan Charters, owned by two brothers, Rod and Randy Berg, who are really good guys. They have both halibut and salmon fishing out of the Kenai area and Seward. Here is their web site: www.rodnreal.com
On my own I fished the Kenai near Soldatna, the Kasilof, and Russian, and streams near Nilnilchik. I use an Abu-Garcia 6600 C5 Ambassadeur with a 6 1/2 foot Cabela Fish Eagle II. It handled salmon up to 40 pounds with no problems.
