Looking at a 5-7 day trip to the Kenai Peninsula. Would like to spend a couple days fishing and 3 days or so sight seeing (sled dogs, glaciers and just general nosing around). Any Alaskans with connections for such a trip, or other folks who have made the trip and have a list of do's and don'ts? Thinking a halibut charter for a day and, maybe a river run for trout/salmon for a day, as far as fishing goes. Trip would be late August or early Sept.

I will be up there with the wife and kids July 16-23. Rented a motor home and booked halibut charter and plan on chasing the reds for a couple days. My advice is to start booking soon not much available if you wait.

I'm sorry, but I can't contribute much on the fishing and guiding up there that time of the year. I did spend a lot of time on the Kenai when I was in college. The people and places are unbelievable. One of the best treasures in the world IMO. Real down to earth people; no BS. I stayed in Cooper's Landing for the most part. If you have time to plan a trip, make sure that you hike the Russian River Trail. Its awesome. Also make sure that you DRIVE through the mountain east to get to Whittier and have you a cold beer with some fried fish! I loved the town of Soldotna, and Homer was like Heaven on Earth. Blew my mind when I saw cattle grazing just outside of Homer. Caught me some nice halibut there too! Anyway, I don't live there and don't know much, but those places made a big impression on me and they will last a lifetime. I show my daughter pics of that wonderful place today. Take your good binoculars.

Buy yourself a book called 'The Milepost". Been up there 3 times and carried the annual edition of "The Milepost" every time. Everything you need to know about travelling in Alaska is in there.
Spent a lot of time on the Kenai. Great place to be. Was seriously considering retiring up there till life went sideways.
Moosetrot I see a piebald cow moose there.

Well, we booked an 8 day stay in Soldotna, AK. Should be a fun trip. Would like to have tried a couple other places you folks recommended, but they could not accommodate our time frame. Thanks for the help, and if anyone is in that area late Aug-Early Sept. Lemme know!
