A brief separate report for this Alpine Lake. Hope lies at the end of a 1.5 mile hike up the Tunnel Creek Trail, which is quite forgettable. The lake itself is more like a pond. James and I arrived at noon and there were trout rising to take flies. So after a rest and lunch I tied on a float bulb for casting and a small royal coachman. This would produce consistent strikes from the 6-7" brookies. I suspect anything I tossed out that floated would work well. Heck, they even strike at the float bulb!
