Northern California Trout fishing ?

[334OKH]

Good evening all, I am thinking about trout fishing in Northern California. I am hoping someone here has an idea of where to go. I would like to be 8 to 9 hours from Vancouver (wa) and probably in a camp ground type of setting as we have two crippled dogs to take. I'm not looking for trophy fishing just a fun, scenic experience. Thank you for any help.

Thank you for your input. I have heard lots of good things about the Trinity area and was looking at these places last night on the map. Thanks again, hope we can go soon.

The McCloud river is pretty hard to beat when it comes to scenery. If I remember right there is a diversion dam on the river that they do not plant hatchery rainbows above. So everything above that is supposed to be native red bands? I'm sure someone on here will tell me I'm full of it, but that's how I remembered it. There is a lot of brook trout in the river also. You can camp right at the foot of Mt Shasta.

Not Cali, but southern Oregon; Diamond lake has some HUGE trout, and all the other stuff you are looking for.
