We drove Kenai, Homer, Seward, and even over to Valdez. One thing to
watch for is that the regulations are tortuous, and dynamic. Waters
that look good on the map are closed at various times, and despite
your best planning may become closed without much notice.

That said, our trip was not centered around fishing so I didn't spend
much time looking into it, or trying to plan the correct time to be
there for fishing.

We ran into that in both Canada and Alaska. There are lots of good places
to fish near roads. Or a place where you can hire a guide for the day and
stay in a cheaper motel etc. We drove to AK 4 years ago from Calif. Truck
camper. Which is a good option. You can rent 4x4 trucks with campers in
AK. But lots of waters were closed when we were there in July. Kenai
Peninsula is a good option. Wife's favorite part of trip was a fly out of
Kenai area to Wolverine Creek. And fishing with bears. You are in a boat,
fishing for Sockeye, so is mostly a snag with fly fishery. Plus we hired a
boat in Homer and heavy gear for Halibut. Fly gear may require a 60 wt.
