If we don't go to CO for trout, where do we go?

Due to the horrendous wild fires in CO, we are rethinking our 6 week vacation destination. Any ideas or input?

1. Good trout fishing - river or lake
2. Not too many biting bugs
3. Cooler temperatures
4. A good 'resort' style RV park
5. Starting from Las Vegas

Any thoughts?
  • McCall RV Resort, right on the North Fork of the Payette River, ½ mile from the outflow of Payette Lake. Waters Edge RV Park on the same river, only in Cascade and less then 100 yards from the dam on the Cascade Lake. There are many "nice" RV parks in western Idaho, but depending on your definition of "resort style" they may not meet your expectations. We are not upper crust here, just plain folks that enjoy nature......:B
  • Hmm, Idaho sounds interesting as we have never been there before. Any good recommendations for resort style parks?

    Canada isn't an option this year, maybe next :)
  • Idaho has some of the best trout fishing on Snake river....Custer State Park, South Dakota has several lakes where trout fishing is very good....Yellowstone Park is also very good
  • Cascade or McCall Idaho.......Excellent trout fishing, both stream and lake, all over the area. Nice and cool as we are at the 5000' level and have other attractions in the area.
