Northwest Fishing Reports

fishlife, I spend a lot time the alpine lakes, and so does Rolland W/Ralland (sp?) I will try and take photos and keep records to pass on. glad you brought this one up. Anyone else who is into the alpine lakes stuff should check out:

I could ask my friend for some pictures of some lakes up in the Olympic Mountains, I know they have some, just not sure which lakes. I know they have pics from Lena Lakes, Mildred, and Flapjacks.

You may want to add to the Lena Lakes portion something like:

"The trail Upper Lena Lake is snow covered in winter and stays that way as late as May or June. This hike requires snow travel and good route finding abilities as much of the trail is above 4000ft elevation and some areas are very exposed."


Oh and for my own personal info, I have never been able to find information on fishing seasons up there. Is it just open year round or is that covered by NFS somewhere that I didn't find?

They are open year round. I always ask the forest service station about the place (rivers, lakes) when I am checking in, getting a map and buying a Pass if needed.

Here is a guide book (Hiking/Backpacking is where the main alpine lakes are located) for all the hikes in the Wenatchee Area (Chelan, Douglas, Grant Co. there are a few others). Listed throughout the guidebook are lakes. Hope this helps!

Sellis 414 Check that link again, I saw a bunch of stuff, but no reference to a fishing guide book.

thanks everyone, I'll try to get working on this my next day off. I know there are a bunch of pictures of Alpine lakes on another thread as well. And thanks to fishnislife for lighting the match.

There is no "fishing" guide book. The guide book has different hikes you can hike to.. Some of which are "Alpine Lake Hikes"... There is about 25 lake hikes in the guide book. Some of which are alpine lakes and some are other lakes not accessable by vehicle.

I asked one of my friends that goes, he said he'll post some pics on his facebook so I can get them off there, do you just want them e-mailed to Mike or just loaded on this thread?

e-mail to me with details of the lake (name, county,species, size if known) would be great. Thanks!

Here's a couple pics for ya. This is Long Lake in Lewis county. Well up into the foothills past Ashford off of Skate Creek Rd.
Absolutely awesome lake. Stocked with rainbows for sure. Not sure of anything else though. Still patches of snow on the sides of the road up there when I went this morning. Tricky to get to but you can drive all the way up to it.

salmonslayer117, can you e-mail these pics to me? They save as one image when I try to retrive them. mike@washingtonlakes.com

thanks

Sent 'em off to ya mike. Hope ya get 'em ok.
