We did do some guided fishing out of Cooper Landing, thanks to our landlord who owns a lodge there. The owner was pretty gracious about trading work I did to his rental house for some fishin!
Unreal experience trout fishing the middle Kenai. When your 10 year old catches a 10lb rainbow, it's a good day! And the combat fishing up the Russian river was definitely something I'd do again (now I know where to go). You could do that easily without a guide, provided you have all the gear, waders, etc. It's literally follow the trail.
If you are going guided or getting a cabin, look up Drifters Lodge, Bob. Good guy.
Our close personal friends bought Anglers Lodge down in Soldotna a few years ago as well. Never been there yet, but based on the the folks I know they are, it would be awesome too. They're catering more to the $$$ crowd though so there's that.
