Go.
The North Fork and/or Kelly, Cayuse, Ruby, Black Canyon are world class cutthroat on a fly.

P.S. Rock Chuck, again, there are hundreds of nice campsites on the reservoir and have been for years.

Elk adapt.

That said, I used to go up the lower North Fork with my Grandpa. The dam broke his heart. I've adapted.
In fact, I am going to fish for bass up there Sunday.

This was only a few years after the dam was completed in '73. They only had the 2 campgrounds at the time. I can't figure out why they prohibited tent camping along the shoreline, miles from anything.
