Narrative:

While working the local control position combined with lake hood. Aircraft X checked in on frequency inbound to lake hood; I observed aircraft Y on final to edf. I passed traffic to aircraft X who was almost at the same altitude. Aircraft X advised that they did not have traffic in sight. I immediately turned aircraft X on a right turn heading 360 immediately northbound; I asked if traffic was ever passed to them they advised negative. The closest proximity was about 100 feet; less than a mile. No mor [mandatory occurrence report] was done. We questioned one of the supervisors as to why a mor was not done and we were advised that sometimes when someone is signed on to cedar the mor goes into their record and is not seen on the facility log for that day.lake hood airspace needs to be addressed when it comes to edf traffic.

Title: ANC Tower Controller reported an airborne conflict between two aircraft. The reporter blamed a specific airspace as the problem and that the pilot was never issued traffic from a previous Controller.
