Thanks a lot everyone for your help. I think we will end up going to some of the north slope streams. The nice thing is that there is a lot of water up there so we ought to have plenty of options. The hard thing is there is a lot of water up there so it is hard to pick out exactly where to go. I always like to have a solid game plan when I go on a fishing trip for a few days. So here is my question, and you can send me a private message if you'd like - Out of Henry's Fork, Smith's Fork, Black Fork, and Bear River, which 3 do you think would be best to focus on that time of year? The reason I ask is because I don't want to overwhelm us with trying to hit too much, which I have a great tendency to do [crazy] . I really want to key in on some of the most optimal areas, even down to specific branches/sections of those streams. It seems like Henry's Fork ought to definitely make it onto our lineup. From everything I've read and from your comments, it seems like a reliable winner, especially for my novice friend. Let me know any suggestions. Half of the excitement of a trip like this comes from preparing for it for me. I really want to key in on some good patterns to tie as well. We will have 3 full days I think, maybe 4. We will likely camp along each of the three streams we choose, but drive in between rather than hike. Thanks, and Brookie, I will send you a pm with my message right now.
