Alpine Lake is a lake in Minnesota, near Cook County.
Alpine Lake is a lake in Cook County, Minnesota. Alpine Lake covers about 909 acres.
Alpine Lake is small enough to check weeds, wood, rock and the first deep drop without spending the whole day moving around.
Fish reported from Alpine Lake include cisco, lake trout, lake whitefish, northern pike, smallmouth bass, walleye, white sucker, and yellow perch.
For bass at Alpine, work a tube, Ned rig or small crankbait across rock and firm points for smallmouth.
For panfish at Alpine, keep a small jig, minnow or worm close to bottom for yellow perch.
For roaming fish at Alpine, jig a minnow or troll a crankbait along points and deeper edges for walleye.
For large predators at Alpine, cast a spoon, spinnerbait or swimbait beside weeds for northern pike.
For cold-water fish at Alpine, run spoons or minnow-shaped lures in cool water for trout.
For other cold-water fish at Alpine, use a tiny jig or small spoon at the depth where cisco are schooling, and keep a small jig or natural bait near clean bottom for lake whitefish.
Spring at Alpine is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall at Alpine can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
On a first trip to Alpine, check one quiet cove, one rocky or firm point and the nearby deep water with a moving lure, then use a jig or worm where you find fish.
A medium spinning rod covers most casting at Alpine, while a second rod with enough line and weight to reach deep water is useful for togue.
At Alpine, pick one cove and the closest point or drop into deep water, then fish that small area well before making a long move.
A reliable depth number was not found for Alpine, so anglers should rely on what they can see and what their lure touches.
Cisco is on the fish list for Alpine, so start with a bait made for that fish instead of guessing at a species that may not be there.
