Off the Map
From Virginia Lakes you find one of the easiest passes crossing from the Eastern Sierra across the crest of the Sierra into the western side of the range. Starting at Virginia Lakes at 9800' you need only climb 1300' in 2.5 miles to reach the top and begin your descent into Yosemite National Park. From there you drop just over a mile to Summit Lake where you can spend the rest of the day fishing for brook trout.
Hardly more than a mile north of Summit Lake you reach the Hoover Lakes and beyond them, East Lake. There you can fish for rainbow and brook trout.
