Anchorage in June

I am going to be in Anchorage for the first 2 weeks of June. Any suggestions as to some places reasonably close to do some fishing but NOT combat :rambo: fishing. I have seen the pics of the crowds at most of the rivers around there and I would rather go hiking than fish like that. I am open to a charter, river or lake fishing for just about anything.

Make sure and check out Ship Creek. Flossing at it's finest.
Watch out for Bears too. :cyclops:

Yes, Ship Creek looks like a good place to lose an eye.

Kenai, Russian, Anchor. All within an hour or two.
Watch out for bears on Ship creek??
Watch out for bears on Bird Creek which is in Anchorage as well.

Not at Ship Creek. Can't remember the golf course I played when I was there, but I did see a rumbling bear on the green ahead of me. :cyclopsan

I'd rather run the risk of seeing a bear than have to rub elbows while I fish.

Any last minute suggestions? I leave for Anchorage Monday. There appear to be a couple lakes real close to town. I really don't want mess with Ship Creek unless by some miracle there is a time it is not too crowded.

You can rent gear there. It wasn't crowded at all when I went in July. Flossing is accepted there.

Spent many hours on Ship Creek but got skunked. What do you expect when you are fishing with hundreds of people and only 3 fish get caught in your vacinity I guess. However, had a great time and it was my first time ever fishing a river for salmon. Hope to keep honing my newfound skills back in Washinton. Any advice on when, where and how to fish Salmon in freshwater in WA is appreciated too.
