bank walker, i dont think there are any "secret spots" when it comes to the alpine lakes. there are a few books out that you can get at any major bookstore that lists all the alpine lakes and trails, how to get there, species, techniques, etc.

i think the only way to have a true secret spot is get permission to fish on private land. anyplace that has public access has info about it in print or on the internet. you just have to look around for it.

what i like best about the alpine lakes is that all the littering beer drinkers and yahoos are too lazy to hike a couple miles to get away from the crowds. i think the fresh mountain air scares them away!!
