I am planning a backpacking trip for the family this coming July. We will be hiking from Meeks Bay through the Desolation Wilderness and exiting at Echo Lake. I would really love to add a Golden Trout to my list of trout species caught while we are hiking. We should have time for a diversion to specific lake or tributary.

Can anyone tell me what lakes and tributaries would be my best bet?

PM appreciated if you don't want to give away you secret spots.

Thanks! Katz
