fishing and backpack trip

[Lokaybinnity]

my boys want to go on a fishing and backpack trip, probably just a one night kind of thing, i have all the gear to be successful. my boys are 14, 11, and 9. do you guys got any areas you would recommend we go. i was thinking blue lake out of randle of summit lake. my boys can hike so it doesnt have to be a easy hike but want to keep it 3 to 5 miles at most. what are your thoughts? not looking for your no tell'em creek spot just a place we can go have fun and maybe catch a couple to put over a fire thanks guys

Lake Eleanor is a beaut, and is halfway to Grand Park.  We did that once as kids-  camped/fished at Eleanor and hiked the next day to the park. 

Anywhere up there is pretty buggy this time of year, so don't forget a thermacell or some deet (or both).

Frying pan off white pass is a good one this time of year. Camp on frying pan and fish little snow lake. I think its somewhere between 3 and 5 mile hike if I remember right

You could also check out Dewey lake or Crystal lakes off of Chinook pass. (Hwy 410).

Off hwy 410 take the old Weyerhaeuser mainline to the Greenwater lakes trail. Hike past them to either Lost lake or Echo lake. Some elevation gain, but not too bad. Fun fishing. Decent campsites.
Took my kid there a few years back and a small group of elk walked right by us.
