The Ice is off the Alpine Lakes a month early and the fishing will be good

Tom Loe

Report Date:5-28-2012

The ice is coming off a month early in the higher elevation areas, while water temps are above normal in the June Lake Loop, Convict, South Lake, Twin Lakes Bridgeport regions. Tubing these locations with full sinking lines that will get you down 15 feet quickly is the best way to get looks at this time. The wind has also shut down much of the alpine area so pressure has been light. As it gets warmer you could have some fun in these locations fishing streamers like Loeberg's, Spruce-A-Bu's, Agent Orange, or Crystal Leech's. The planting schedules are good this year with some trophy sized fish being thrown in to spice up the pot.
