If you have a float tube/pontoon boat Kolob and Panguitch are good choices. Depending on how you are camping, Kolob if your are taking a RV is is pretty steep and very limited areas to camp. A lot more choices if you are in a tent. Panguitch has more opportunities to camp. Two weeks ago we caught a lot of fish on Panguitch black hares ears was a very good fly. If you prefer a stream you can fish the Sevier/Mammoth/Asey along HWY 89 around Hatch UT. You can also fish a couple small ponds/lakes in the Duck creek area. Tropic Res and Pine lake near Brice Canyon. Beaver mountain above Beaver has some nice little lakes again can be a steep haul to some of them. Otter Creek/Minnersville also good fishing but may be a little hot this time of year. I prefer these fisheries at ice off. Minersville is artificial only. If you want to backpack there is also the Boulder Mt area. I am the same way. I have to get out of Vegas. Problem is there really is no where to go that is less then a 3hr drive.There are a few more you just have to get out and explore. Hope this helps
