I've always had good luck around the backside where the creek runs into the lake. Trout worms, salmon eggs always seem to do pretty well in that area.

Mid July should be prime time for that area. Are you bait or lure or flyfishing? For tubing, you can't beat Rock Creek Lake. I am mostly a shore guy but I see tubers out there all the time. Fishing can be good for browns and rainbows in the creek in between the campgrounds. If you hike a couple of miles into the backcountry, you can catch a ton of little brookies in the creeks while flyfishing. Oh, you HAVE to get some pie at the resort at the lake, best in the world!! Good luck, awesome area up there!

I also want to hit some of those hike in lakes off the trail. Any info on fishing these lakes?

Head up from the lake into Mosquito Flats. Plenty of small lakes and connector streams. The trail is easy to walk, the scenery is outstanding, and it's a real nice way to while away the day. Practice good fish handling and C&R.

Here is a video of the hike I did last year into the little lakes valley.

Nice Huck. Incredible though that those lakes were ice free and there was no snow on Memorial Weekend. That just goes to show how bad the drought situation is in the Sierras the last 2 years.
