Freshwater Alaskan Fishing?
Jeff asked:
I will be visiting Girdwood, Alaska this summer in July for a fishing trip. Freshwater fishing, not saltwater. Does anyone know what kind of fishing equipment I will need for the rivers around there? [Ex: Type of fishing poles: Heavy, medium, light etc...] Also, does anyone have any recommendations on boats rentals?

Try using an 8ft medium-Heavy to heavy action rod with a Penn 7500 spinning reel. Here is the name of a really good guide from the Soldotna, AK area:
If you contact him he may be willing to give you some tips on the equipment you need.
