My first trout lake was Lake Solano on lower Putah Creek. We float-tubed it in the '60s & ‘70s.
Next was McCumber Reservoir east of Redding. This is one of my favorites.
We also fished Manzanita Lake on the same trips which is at a higher elevation just inside the Lassen Park.
We fished Martis and Milton out of Truckee.
Indian Creek Reservoir was fun.
The big deal for us in 1976 was Crane Prairie Reservoir in Oregon. Joe Patterson, our Cortland Rep, took us there.
After that we fished a bunch of lakes over in Nevada out of Elko.
