This Alpine Creek flows into Lemon Creek in the Slocan River watershed. Check the daily afternoon closure as well as the spring closure. Lemon Creek itself is closed throughout the year.

A creek in the Slocan River watershed, a tributary of Lemon Creek. Fish are expected here, though it carries no direct inventory records yet.

Fishes like a small stream: short drifts with a buoyant attractor dry over a light dropper. Confirm access and flows, and check the Region 4 regulations before you go.

From 15 July through 31 August, fishing in this Alpine Creek is prohibited daily from noon to midnight under the Slocan River tributary closure. The usual spring closure also applies. Use local time at the water.

Streams in Region 4 are closed to fishing from 1 April through 14 June, unless the water-specific table lists an exemption.

Release all trout and char in this Alpine Creek under the Slocan River tributary rules. The exceptions for upper Koch Creek and Little Slocan Lake tributaries do not apply to this Lemon Creek tributary.

Under the Slocan River tributary rules, natural bait is prohibited here from 15 June through 31 October whenever fishing is open.

Use a single barbless hook when angling in a Region 4 stream, throughout the year and for every species.

Lemon Creek itself is closed to fishing throughout the year. This Alpine Creek flows into Lemon Creek; do not continue fishing into Lemon Creek at the confluence. The Lemon Creek entry does not extend its complete closure to tributaries.

The regional daily limit is 15 whitefish, all species combined. No kokanee may be retained from streams. These limits do not establish which species occur here; species-specific closures and release requirements still apply.

The regional daily retention limit for burbot is 2 when fishing and retention are permitted. The possession limit is twice the applicable daily quota. A quota is not evidence that burbot occur in this creek.

Do not target bass, yellow perch, northern pike or walleye on this water. Region 4 permits fishing for these species only on specifically listed waters; this water has no listed exception.

Normally use only one line when angling. A person alone in a boat on a lake may use two lines. Any water-specific exception must be checked separately. Unattended set lines are not permitted in Region 4.

A BC freshwater angling licence is generally required from age 16. Licence, accompaniment and catch-quota rules for younger anglers depend on residency. Check the provincial licensing page for exemptions, required identification and proof of licence. Additional stamps or a Classified Waters Licence may be needed.

An angling licence does not grant access across land. Obtain the appropriate permission before entering or crossing private, cultivated, posted or reserve land.

Fishing is prohibited within 23 metres downstream of the lower entrance to a fishway, canal, obstacle or leap, and within 100 metres of a government fish-counting, passage or rearing facility unless otherwise designated. Ecological reserves are closed to fishing.

Do not fish for white sturgeon in Region 4. Release any caught accidentally; a zero retention quota here is also a prohibition on targeting them.

Bait includes foodstuffs and natural substances used to attract fish, including roe, worms, and scents or flavourings containing natural substances or nutrients. Wood, cotton, wool, hair, fur and feathers are excluded from that definition. Freshwater invertebrates must not be used or possessed as bait at a lake; their use in streams depends on any local bait ban.

Chumming is prohibited. Do not use live fish, or fin fish or their parts other than roe, as bait in these Region 4 waters.

Each angling line may have only one hook, one artificial lure or one artificial fly attached. Do not fish with multiple artificial flies on a line, including a dropper fly.

Before transporting a boat or other watercraft, remove drain plugs and drain its compartments on dry land. Clean, drain and dry boats and equipment before moving between waters.

It flows into Lemon Creek within the Slocan River watershed (Slocan River → Kootenay River). It runs stream order 2 (high in the network, near the headwaters; the scale runs from 1 for a headwater trickle to 6+ for a river) and roughly 3 km. bull trout, Westslope (Yellowstone) Cutthroat Trout expected: the fish-passage model shows this water connects to recorded habitat with no barrier between, though it has no direct records of its own yet.

As a small stream, a tributary of Lemon Creek, Alpine Creek fishes the way creeks of its size do: short drifts with a buoyant attractor dry over a light dropper, working the pocket water and the heads of pools. Match the fly box to the season and confirm against a current local report.

Access for Alpine Creek, meaning the roads in, put-ins and any walk-in or seasonal limits, is worth confirming locally before you commit a day. The drainage map shows how the water sits in its valley.
