Need help on a Fishing Trip

Okay, yesterday, no less than 8 folks including my bride told me to go
fishing. Piece of cake, I'll head up to the Black Hills. Small water
that I can wade, catch some pretty trout. Oopsy, in talking to the
camp ground owners (even at the base in Rapid City), this is the week
before Sturgis and its the 70th anniversary. They're expecting a half
a million folks to start pouring in and if you don't have a camping
spot reserved (and there are no reservations left), fugetabotit.

I would like to leave Tuesday, comeback the following Monday and go
somewhere I can catch decent brown trout whilst wading. No giant
rivers please. Within about 650 miles of Omaha.
Any ideas?

Coulee country. Southwest Curdistan. More details if interested.

Whilst wading is the thing. You know about the Missouri streams
but that's driftboat fishing for the most part.

The driftless area of Minnesota/Wisconsin/Iowa has wadable brown
trout fishing but in August you have to be careful about water
temps.

I'd say your best bet is the holy waters of Michigan. Wayne Knight
knows the area better than I but I have fished up there several
times. Check this: http://www.gateslodge.com/

Oops, sorry. Mapquest says Omaha to Grayling is 785 miles,
12 hours and 25 minutes.

Hell, if you were going to go to Rapid City anyway why not
just keep on going and fish Yellowstone ?

Just found out that the wiff's cousin has a place above Grey Reef in
Wyoming. Water's pretty big and still got a lot of run off coming
from the dam. Might be an idea. I've also emailed Mssr Knight.
Hmm, Curdistan? Hopper fishing in little streams or is there
something bigger? Again, wondering how the heat would affect the
fishing.

Yeah, that's an easy day and a half. Not knockin' it, just would like
something closer, though will keep it as an option if you don't mind.

if it turns out to be the best option(given a long, hot, dry summer, it
might not), let me know and I can express mail the key to Rudy. Just make up
your mind by Sat morning, as I'm off to the shore house for a week. How far
from Omaha to Assateague, and have you ever fished for sharks?
