Lake Alpine is still frozen with some signs of thawing around the edge. Highway 4 is open to the east side of the lake. Pray for warmer weather.
White Pines Lake located near Arnold has still been producing some nice fish. Bait fishermen should try floating Power Eggs, Gulp Eggs, new Salmon Egg scented power bait, new Garlic scented Power Bait, Gulp Power Bait, Gulp Nightcrawlers, salmon eggs, and nightcrawlers using a cast-a-bubble and a 30" leader. Fly fishermen should try bead head woolly buggers, ants, and sparrow nymphs on a intermediate line or try using a small split shot to get down to the fish. Lure fishermen have been having a field day using Panther Martin's, Kastmasters, and Rooster Tails.
The North Fork of the Stanislaus River will still be running high due to snow runoff. Bait casters should try crickets, salmon eggs, nightcrawlers. Power Bait has just released their new scents for 2010. They now have salmon egg scent, and garlic in the popular colors, along with the new hatchery pellet scent. Lure casters should try Panther Martin's, Rooster Tails, and Rapalas. Fly fishermen should try bead head nymphs and sinking line as the flows are fast and high due to runoff.
