The most famous stream in the area, Hot Creek, will be tough this time of the year. If you're looking for "easy" trout try some of the local freestone streams in the area that recieve planters. A couple of the closest would be Mammoth Creek and Rush creek in the June lake loop. Another "numbers" stream would be the San Joaquin by Devils Postpile. This time of year you will have to take a bus to get there unless you are camping. I do have one more suggestion if you are really looking for easy fish in the area. Crowley Lake, just south of Mammoth, recieves tons of fingerlings in early august. Check to see if they have been planted by the time you arrive. If so, go to Crowley at the main entrance and fish Hilton Creek where it enters into the lake. There's usually a bunch of these smaller fish stacked up there right after they have been planted. In case someone want's to flame me for suggesting this, let me explain. Some poachers frequent Hilton right after this planting. It would be good to have a few fly anglers around to discourge them. As always check with the local fly shops.
