Default Alaska idea?

Anyone know anything about this?

As far as car rentals go, I'd bet the vast majority are rented in
Anchorage and returned there, since there is essentially nowhere else
to drive to and then fly out of (for the average tourist budget).

I have no idea about RVs but there's probably great fishing in BC.

There really are not that many roads in Alaska, relatively speaking.
Driving is not the optimal way to do fishing in Alaska. Oh you'll find
plenty but it won't be the sort of "wild Alaska" fishing you see on
films. Float plane, float trip, and power boat are how they get to the
rest of Alaska.

I have friends who did a "rental car" fishing trip in Alaska, but only
on Kodiak island. They just used the car to get around the island to
various fishing spots, and had quite a good time.
