Between Soldotna and Kenai on the road that is on the north side of the river, can't remember if that is Kenai Spur Rd. or not, there are a couple of private campgrounds and boat launches that offer some bank fishing opportunities..and if the second run of reds is coming in at all they will be in the lower river. There's also a couple on the south bank, and if there's no fish stop at Echo Lake Lockers and score some of that Jalapeno Cheese stuff. It's world famous for a reason! Great salmon dip too. If you haven't fished for sockeye before keep in mind that they run only 10-15 feet from the bank.
