Hi, My Name is Dan Franklin

I have backpacked in the Eastern Sierra since 1999 with a group of real trout fisherman.

There goal is always to find a great lake to fish for golden trout.

I have been to and fished dozens of lakes along the Sierra crest from Cottonwood to  Pinecreek Pass and several more lakes in the interior.

While my friends fished I took notes and photos. I did this because I searched online for information and photos before every trip we took.

I wanted to know what the area looked like. Where the good campsites were. Where water could be found. How much altitude I would have to gain.

I wanted to know where to get permits and how to get to the trail head.

I decided to put this guide together to help those who come after looking for great adventure with great fishing in the awesome beauty of the High Sierra.

I hope you enjoy my site and, if you purchase my guide I hope it helps you plan a great trip.

I hope too that you will let me know how you did. You can email me at Dan@awesomegoldentroutlakes.com

See you on the trail!

Dan
