Do you have any info on such a trip (not in Yellowstone)?
Nope. Not enough water down this way to call a pack trip a fishing
trip (though you might do some fishing on a pack trip). The guys up
north would know more than I, though I recall hearing that the Wind
River range in WY has trips that hit multiple high country lakes.
The trip I've always wanted to take, if I was ever to get
on a friggin' horse again (highly doubtful), is into the
Two Ocean Pass area of the Teton Wilderness just south of
Yellowstone. The cutthroat fishing on the upper Yellowstone
and Thorofare Creek is alleged to be fantastic.
I've thought about a backpacking trip up in there but it's
too long a round trip to be realistic anymore and would
have been quite the challenge even as a youngster. Hmmmm,
I wonder if I could rent a pair of llamas ? That might be
the ticket for the "horse averse".
The Wind Rivers are nice, we did a 10 day backpacking trip
and I caught some decent fish up there but I much prefer
stream fishing to high country lake fishing.
