In-country (national) bucket list destinations

My current list:
- Clearwater Steelhead
- Alaska (honestly, I'd be thrilled to just drive around and catch grayling and dollies near the road)
- NE Stripers from the beach
- Whatever part of the Klamath those massive Redbands hang out in.
- Minnesota arrowhead. I've fished here before, but just scratched the surface. I'd like to spend some time there. Lake run browns, "steelhead", coasters, pike, ice out lake trout, smallmouth. I don't know if it is like this still, but I went there about ten years ago, and very few fly-fished it. It's walleye country up there, and that is what everyone chased. Fishing the surf feels like you are in Maine.
 
Strikers in southern Oregon but the guys who know how to do it keep pretty quiet about it.
yeah, that's just far enough out of my range for a day trip that I hesitate going down there and trying to figure that out. It's been on my radar for a long time though....never a peep.
