It would be helpful to know when and were you plan to go. Alaska is huge and the timing of runs vary tremendously in various locations. It might be true that roadside fishing will only get you to a small fraction of fishable waters but there is a tremendous amount of good roadside fishing. I've done it in on Prince of Whales Island, Kenai Peninsula, Copper Creek drainage and North of Anchorage to the border of Denali. Outstanding fishing was found in all those areas. I found this book very helpful especially my first time to an area: bookhttp://www.amazon.com/Alaska-Fishing-Ultimate-Anglers-Edition/dp/1929170114/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1410349363&sr=8-1&keywords=fishing+in+alaska
I still refer to it a little on each trip. Here's a helpful link if fishing between Anchorage and Denali as well as the Copper River drainage http://alaskaroadsidefishing.com/Pages/L...sitna.html
I pulled up the Little Su but you can switch to others listed on the left side of the page. I fished most of them by car or RV. They want you to buy their book but I haven't.
If you're camping I liked to be able to pull up on the beach or next to the beach in the State parks on some of the smaller rivers on the Kenai such as Ninilchik and Deep Creek. They have early runs of kings with only certain days open. Don't forget a shovel if you like clams.
