There are lots of posts here and other places and figuring out where to go can be daunting based on our experience living there for a year and not seeing half of what we could or wanted to.
We did figure out our way around parts of the state though and I’d be happy to chat with you about it to get the most out of your 3 weeks. You can do a lot in that amount of time.
Fishing, while phenomenal in AK is not just drop a line and the fish fly out of any puddle you see. Salmon runs define when that is good and where. And lake fishing is similar in that you need to know where to go.
We fished a fair amount and my reccomendatoon is bring all your fishing gear both light and heavy rods.
I’d shoot for Kennicot, Denali Highway and the Kenai peninsula and not spend more time than necessary in Anchorage unless you like tweakers and....the city.
If in your budget, imo it’s a great experience to do a halibut trip and possibly a day of guided river fishing.
It’s phenomenal country.
