My girlfriend and I are interested in doing some backpacking/fly fishing trips this spring, summer and fall in the Sierras (or elsewhere). A two - 3 hour (or less) hike in would be preferable - and preferably to a stream, creek or small river with a hungry, opportunistically feeding population of brookies, rainbows or other trout.
We went on five trips together last year to some really nice spots, and although she hooked quite a few, she has yet to land one. Even so, she is very enthusiastic about the sport. She tried it for the first time last June and really loves it, probably because she loves the outdoors regardless. For our 1st anniversary last October I treated her (and myself) to a fly tying lesson at Leland Outfitters SF. She danced with excitement at the prospect - and danced more joyously after the lesson. Next day she showed off the Griffith's Gnats she tied to all of her work mates at the SF SPCA.
I am a very lucky guy and I really want this fair maiden to catch a lot of fish this year! I know some good spots already - but if you can help us out with some more spots where the dinkers will eat anything - please let me know! Especially if they are in close proximity to some more serious fishing.
We are in SF but will travel 4+ hours for a good trip. I've been to the Carson, the McCloud, the Upper Sac, North Fork Yuba and some smaller water as well. Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks,
~Mark
