Since yesterday was such a great day at Evergreen Lake, hit it again for a couple hours today. Caught 26 trout on the #55 Pink Panther and the Speckled Hen Pattern of the Tazmanian Devil Lures. So the first 2 days of fishing I am at 143 trout. Not a bad way to start the season. Hope the season keeps going like this and there will be a lot of happy customers. So who wants some of this action?
It may be awhile before car and boat come out of the snow. High country lakes still has couple feet of ice and continue to get dumped on with snow. So for all you ice fishermen out there your season may go on longer as the rest of us wait. Still planning for May 1st to get the season going out on the lakes. http://www.coloradotroutguide.com/
Here is the update for Colorado. Most of the high Mountain reservoirs still have an average of 24 inches of ice. The front range lakes are open but fishing has been slow for many. I am still hoping that May1st we will be able to get the boat out on a couple of the lakes, but only time will tell. Until then, I hope everyone enjoys their spring.
Went to Spinney Mtn. Reservoir and besides the day starting at 12 degrees, it did get into the mid 50’s later. Was an Excellent trip with 11 fish caught. 10 Rainbow Trout all between 17″ and 23″ along with one Northern Pike at 38″ Still time to get that last minute trip in before season ends.
Was a great day fishing at Eleven Mile Reservoir with a couple awesome people. The mother and son team requested to catch some bigger fish instead of a bunch of the stocker size and they ended up going home very happy with todays catch. Ended up catching 8 trout in 4 hours with smallest at 16 inches and the biggest was 20 inches.
Went to Eleven Mile and the day started out with a beautiful sunrise, blue sky and a calm lake. Ended up catching 10 trout all between 16″ and 20″ There is nothing better then catching a 20 inch trout on an ultra light rod and reel. The day ended up white but was still a great day of catching. There is only 10 days left of the fishing season and its not to late to get that last trip in.
I thought you would find these statistics interesting. So far to date for the Colorado Fishing Charters I have had guests catch a total of 463 fish. Figuring that is prety good numbers for a day out on the lake. Best trip was 59 fish and slowest was 8 with the avarage being in the 30’s. My personal numbers caught is 628 and that is fishing outside of the charters. So for a total of 1091 fish caught between me and our guests. So there is still time if you want a piece of the action. Guessing about 2 more weeks of fishing. Most everything shuts down end of October for boating but can still get that last minute trip in before season comes to an end.
Went out fishing with a couple buddies to Lake Granby and was a cold day, fishing was fair but was a good day, ended up with 9 trout and when I got to the boat ramp in 2 minutes time or less a major white out blew in and we could not get out of there fast enough. I have never seen such a snow storm come in so fast and blowing so hard. Am thankful that I was not on the lake at the time. Guess it must mean that fishing season is all most over. Not ready to give up fishing yet. hopefully can stretch it out for a couple more weeks.
Was with a great couple from Florida and went back to Dillion Lake for the day, Another perfect day, pretty calm most of the day, sunny skies and they caught 20 Salmon and Rainbow trout and brought some of them home to family in Colorado for a fish fry. Thanks guys for a great day.
Fishing update from Dillion Lake, I ended up catching 9 Salmon and 17 rainbows. Perfect weather, fall colors are great, calm lake and got up to 60 degrees. Could not ask for anything better.
