I'm putting together some outings for my local fly club that provide for catching fish included in the DFG's California Heritage Trout Challenge. I'm looking for input on locations, time of year, flies, guides, etc. for the following locations and fish:

• Eagle Lake-Eagle Lake Rainbow Trout
• McCloud River-Redband Trout
• Goose Lake/Warner Lakes-Redband Trout
• S. Fork Kern River/Golden Trout Creek-California Golden Trout
• Little Kern River-Little Kern Golden Trout

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The upcoming ish (Sept/Oct '06) of Cal Fly Fisher will have a story on the McCloud redbands. At the very least, though, do Google searches for each of the species listed. I think you'll be surprised at the amount of useful information you come up with.

The March/April issue had a story on the Monache Meadows area which would cover you on info for the S Kern Goldens too.
Good luck,
Paul
