If you can't catch Goldens you can fish a lick. Really, really easy and small. Where they live they thrive and will eat you if the mosquitos don't first. One lake , a days hike up from Big Pine, after cleaning some rainbows, the Goldens showed up and almost threw themselves up on the shoreline to get the scraps. Bring some small spoons, minijigs, and a bubble and fly rig. Just dapping a # 16 Mosquito fly on the surface in a fast running creek will make them jump and wiggle in the air fight.Bring a rig you can fish two pound test with.Keep your drag set light. Try to practice fish as much as you can before you leave.My Dad always told me, "My favorite thing about fishing is Pactice, Practice Practice!" Good luck, take pics, and have a great time on the water.
