My brother, sister-in-law, and I hiked into a nice, beautiful alpine lake on the North Cascades pass the other day. It was a beautiful hike, about 5 miles, with great scenery and wildlife viewing. I got to the lake and starting throwing in red, yellow, and green roostertails. I caught 29 cutts in about 1.5 hours. They averaged around 10 inches, but I caught them as small as 5 and as big as 13 inches. They were feisty and had great attitudes and put up a lot of fighting and jumps. I will be back to the lake ASAP.
Remember, CATCH AND RELEASE. These lakes are not stocked and depend on responsible sportsmen for the sustainability of great alpine fishing.
