1. I've visited 1000 lks area long time ago...a couple times. hike into lk. eiler? that was base camp. we hiked south up to I think, McGee lake. it was good fishing. as the name implies...lots of lakes to fish.
2.One hike I like is from Tioga Pass to Saddlebag lakes...it's the Hoover wilderness area. Head over the ridge at the back of saddlebag to upper McCabe lake and down the canyon ..Cold canyon? To Glenn Aulin and out to Tuolumne Meadows.
3.Or try the Tahoe Yosemite trail from Meeks Bay to Tuolumne Meadows ...Only 180 miles. my favorite section of that trail is south from Hyway 4 to the Clarks fork area. Hit highland creek after July 4th, where it dumps into spicer Meadows.
4.from the west shore of Tahoe, take Mckinney Rubicon road to Richardson Lake. Hike up to the PCT trail and head south...after a couple miles head on down to Rubicon Reservoir....lots of great exploring around there. Mainly rainbows but also brookies and goldens in the area. I take a colapsable spinning rod with a selection of Cast-a-bubbles. I drag the flies behind that. Most/many lakes on the trail are lined by trees. unless you wade out...and lots of times thats not an option...(too deep, too muddy, ect) you can only cast out so far with a fly rod. Sounds funky but It's a simple way to go. and it's deadly. Good hiking! ~T
