The road from Yellowstone NP and Jackson Hole WY west to Idaho Falls is along the Snake River, fantastic fishing all the way. Then you have your pick from some amazing fishing in Idaho.
Colorado, you could try the Gunnison River, starting in Taylor Park to Gunnison, then into Black Canyon (huge fish in the canyon, but you'll have to hike down in).
