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?

As an addition it was 29 degrees here this morning! We will have frost again the first week of August. Gets in the upper 60,s now but will warm up to the 80's next month. Pinedale is 7215 elevation. If you can come during the Rendezvous during the second week of July it would be well worth it. Check out Pinedale.com online.

Lots of good trout spots here near Pinedale Wy. The Green River and lots of other rivers and lakes. Lake trout, browns, rainbows and cuthroats. We are in Highline Trails campground in Boulder wy with BIG spaces with grass and great views of the wind river mountains, the largest wilderness in Wy. There are guides and river floats available. Going fishing tomorrow to catch some brookies for supper. My other favorite place is in the Snowies west of Laramie for lots of brookies..

Not looking for 'upper crust' but on our trips we have encountered every extreme ๐Ÿ˜‰

Concrete pad, full hookups with some space between the units is all we need. Will check out McCall.

Breckenridge, CO (Tiger Run) was pretty full last time we looked and I wasn't that impressed by fishing access the last time we visited.

Idaho is looking to be the favorite at the moment. It would be great for everyone if the wild fires around Creede died out this weekend but unfortunately it looks like it's getting worse rather than better. Thoughts with everyone there.

Just shy of Colorado (Don't believe any Fires there Yet), Chama, New Mexico....not real sure how fishing is going these days.

They fish the Rio Chama by the town & down by Heron Lake. Trout in the river & lake plus kokanee salmon at Heron. The Clicky ^ Above has lot of info.

Never been, but it does have Resort in it's name.

Might try Navajo Lake near Bloomfield & the San Juan River. . Fishing Logde

Not sure about a RV Resort around there, just the state park. Not as cool as mountain country as well. ???

You know, it's certainly not all of Colorado that's on fire. And I'd think maybe the Durango area might suit your needs, or maybe up north near Breckenridge or so.

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 ๐Ÿ™‚

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.
