The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Nice picture! What a beautiful fish.

In order to avoid future scalpings, I'd suggest you get a copy of Wind River Trails by Finis Mitchell, who is the original "mountain man" of the Winds. His book will give you plenty of other ideas of places to go, trailheads to start from, lakes to fish, etc. It was quite useful for my trip to the Winds, but I doesn't sound like I went as far into the back country as you did, but it's still worth a gander. $255??!! OUCH!
