JD,

For Father’s Day, my wife and mother-in-law wanted to organize a camping and fishing trip for my father-in-law and I.

We’d like to stay within a 4 hour drive of Granite Bay (near Sacramento, CA), and we’d like to camp in our trailers (so moms+kids can come along and play while dads fish).

We are both novice fly fisherman. Can you recommend a good spot at that time of year and also a good fly shop to hook up with on what to use? Thanks, Mike R.

Hey Mike,

I’d probably check out Martis Lake near Truckee. Good trout fly fishing and plenty of other stuff nearby to do. There’s no RV camping there, but you can stay nearby at the United Trails

For info: Tahoe FlyFishing Outfitters

Have fun!
