7/20/2011 12:28:00 PMJust curious- What are highest levels you have found to still be frozen? I do not imagine stuff on East Side of Passes to be frozen still, but then again we never expected a deep-freeze at end of May in west-slopes @2,000' . Thx for report and am curious what the frozen-lake level is on West-Side. Have you hit 8 Mile out of Icicle? I was pretty happy to have German Browns hitting of size last summer....oh wait, our summer hasn't began yet! Have fun!

7/20/2011 5:45:00 PMI was looking at hikes in the Alpone lakes area, Lake 22 specifically. I checked www.wta.org (Washington Trails Association and found reports from hikers on lakes in the 3,000+ ft range to still have a fait amount of snow on the trails, and I believe Lake 22 was still partly iced over. It depends so much on which direction the lakes is open to. South facing lakes get ice free first of course. I'm guessing east side lakes are in better shape. I have not fished 8 Mile. Another to add to my list. :-)
