ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - There’s no shortage of activities in the Juneau-Douglas area; take our Roadtrippin’ series for example. There’s also no shortage of opportunities to reel in a fish. While most fishing efforts take place on a boat far from shore, not everyone may have that opportunity. Unequipped visitors can also get hooked up by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s rod rental program.
