Bird Creek Just south of Los Anchorage...good bet for pinks: ain't much for eating but the kids will like it. There are spots for tent camping (can be driven to, but not in an RV)
Jewel and Mirror Lakes (not sure when the bite will be best with this weird spring) in Anchorage and Eagle River: Good for (again) trout and landlocked salmon fishing.
For something different "Chugach Backcountry Fishing": guide service, offers 1/2 day trips either walk-in or river floats. Might be pushing the "2-hours" from Anchorage as he operates from Hope IIRC.
Palmer Area; (oh oh, brain fart)...oh, yeah Keppler-Bradley lakes. There's a "commercial" operation on one of them that rents canoes, paddleboats, etc. and sells worms and grubs for bait. The stocked trout will go crazy for those. There are also both commercial and public camping areas nearby.
Little Su (again, pushing the 2-hour envelope): This is a salmon stream that will be tough with high and muddy water, but its a place you can take your own boat or use a guide service (highly recommend Alaska Susitna Charters for a 1/2 day trip).
