What's the link?
The river between St Cloud and Monticello was pretty good long ago
when I fished it. If you can't find a camping spot there are plenty of
motels there now. The river flairs out into some shallow sections
just upstream of the Nuke plant. Easy to wade and fish in the
summer.
The river between Monticello and St Cloud was supposed to have some
good Muskie fishing as well.

If you want to camp I'd head up to the Gunflint trail. We fish at
lake off the Gunflint that is clear as gin. the bottom is spotted with
boulders as big as houses. It's to deep to flyfish ( except in the
evenings). The smallmouth attack anything. I'd give you the name of
the lake but it might cause me bodilyharm. It's more fun to find your
own. Bring bug dope.
