Planning a trip to the Frank Church Wilderness in Idaho

[BW]

Anyone ever been?  It would be a combination hiking/fishing trip, so we'd be looking for good fishing and nice scenery.  We will be on foot, and won't be able to pack in waiters or boots because we need to save weight.  Anyone ever go?  Any recommendations on where we might want to fish or hike in?  Thanks.

I did a 9-day float in 2006.  It was beautiful.  I was not an angler then, so I don't have any tips for you on that end.  But remember that it is indeed a remote area.  If you are injured, you're not going to be able to dial 911 on your cell phone.  

Cheers,

I backpacked into the Frank Church Wilderness in '09 along the Big Creek trail. We fished Big Creek almost exclusively (trail runs right alongside it for miles). Excellent fishing for native cutts on dry/dropper combos and for huge bull trout on big ugly streamers. The trailhead is at Big Creek Airport. There are some big fish in Big Creek and you could spend your entire trip on it.

Definitely don't need waders; just wet wade in lightweight sandals and wool socks.
