Trying to hook my wife on fishing. Took her out last week to Huntington lake. She got her limit, however it was a 2-1/2 hour drive. We both love trout and looking for something a bit closer. She’s a rookie and I’ve fished most of my life. Hoping by getting her hooked, I can get out more often.

Welcome Aboard - take her to where she will catch fish. She will get hooked and then you can explore other places.

Rmvoss Loc: Mariposa, Ca

That’s my plan. Was just hoping Someone could give me a “sure” spot a little closer to home. Huntington lake was beautiful and she caught fish, it’s just too far away to just say hey let’s go.

There are a couple of fishable lakes up by Yosemite, Cherry Lake and Lake Eleanor - I've never fished either one but I'd guess that they have trout, you should check em out. Also the Merced river is pretty accessible from hi way 140 coming out of Yosemite. There are definitely trout in there. If you want to go up high, Tenaya is up in the Tioga pass in the park above the valley. Gorgeous up there. Lake McClure is also over by you, but I don't know if has any trout, mostly a bass and catfish lake I think. Again, check it out.

Thanks for the info Spirit. I’ve gone to Lake McClure and caught a limit of Rainbows last winter. Lake was low and the main channel by the Bagby bridge was accessible from the shore. Took about an hour and a half for a limit. Fairly close to home, approx 35 minute drive. Took my wife out twice in the past month. Water level is way up so couldn’t get out to the main channel to catch trout. Instead we caught some cat fish. Boring. They don’t put up much of a fight, more like pulling a bag of rocks through the water. Really need a boat to fish that lake. Hopefully next year I will have.

I haven’t fished the Merced River as of yet. That will be the second step in getting my wife hooked. I need a couple of sure catch local spots first to get her hooked.

I’ve heard a lot about Cherry lake. Definitely has trout. Not sure how close it is, guess I need to look it up.

I know there are a lot of places to go within a 2 hour radius of here. Looking for something close by that you could go on a spur of the moment kind of thing, rather than having to plan for an all day trip.

Appreciate the info!

I'm in the same situation here - lots of water within a hour or so, but nothing really close by.
