mineral king ?
I have a permit for Lamarck to fish some of those lakes with a friend that loves fishing. I am reading that the rough fire smoke is pretty heavy in that area, so am thinking of changing it to Mineral King (south of the fire). I just got back from Mineral King and hiked the Sawtooth area, but the franklin lakes area looked very nice. A few questions, whats the fishing like in there, is it possible to do a loop from Franklin Pass, Claire lake and then up to Amphitheater lake with out going over class 3 Crystal Pass? Any other suggestions for fishing.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Re: mineral king ?
My plans were for this weekend. There seems to be a few permits still available in the southern sierra. I may just go tuna fishing.
