Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.
ELEVEN MILE STATE PARK IS LOCATED IN THE SOUTH PARK NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA
CONTEST WEEKEND: Many people are calling and want to come out this Saturday but are worried about the contest. Don’t worry be happy. On any given Saturday this Park is busy regardless of a contest. This one is at North Shore so it won’t impact any other fishing access areas. So come on out and have a great Eleven Mile time.
CURRENT CONDITIONS: THERE IS NO OPEN WATER. When it comes to the sport of ice fishing ice is the optimum word. Got Ice? You bet. It’s been years since we have seen such great ice conditions. Thickness still running 22 to 30 hard inches. Snow pack has diminished a little. Trekking easier in the morning snow gets soft as the day warms up. Spring Ice Fishing at it’s best. Thick ice and warm temperatures time to bring the grill. It’s always a good policy this time of year to stay away from rocks. They warm up fast in the sun and soften the surrounding ice. CR 90-92 in from Lake George is literally falling apart with warmer temps, watch yourself.
MARINA MARCH MADNESS: March 7, 2020. Check in starts at 5:00AM. All fishing done in the North Shore. Use your own equipment, fish anywhere in a very large designated area. Three separate fishing sets (contests). Cash paid for 1st - 3rd place each set. Big Fish is a random draw from the qualifying set winners. The name of the game is get a chip in the bucket. It’s Madness, it’s different and fun if you are not a sore loser because the actual biggest fish may not win. A random draw from potentially 6 teams. Must buy into optional Big Fish Pot. Slots available sign up day of contest. On Line registration is over.
HOURS: OPEN M-F 8:00AM to 4:00PM weather permitting. SATURDAY & SUNDAY 7:00AM - 4:30PM .

TROUT:: GOOD TO VERY GOOD:: The fish in the pic shows one very important thing. If you look closely at the female fish on the right there are eggs coming out of it. That means they are beginning to spawn under the ice. That’s why the Pautzke Trout Eggs have been so hot. Salmon eggs will also still work. The fish are sucking them off the bottom. The North Shore is full of recently stocked fish and makes things a little frustrating but the pic also proves that the big ones are also in the mix. This means fish shallow. When they are eating eggs they are also gulping night crawlers. Many baits are working and we still bring them in with spoons of a variety of patterns.
KOKANEE SALMON: FAIR: The story remains the same. They are there but they are not jumping on your hook. It takes work and luck. Bites have been later in the day. Depths vary from 15 to 40 feet in 50 feet or more of water. Look to working all the spoons to find the color of the day. White has been consistently productive. We like our garlic meals worms and Gulp Maggots in Natural or Chartreuse. Vexilar or similar units a must to really be in the game. The game is to catch 10 but you settle for anything you can get. Trout always seem to be around in the process.
NORTHERN PIKE: FAIR Visual contact shows them chasing the little ones in North Shore. They are still hard to get to hit your bait. A few small ones caught had well formed eggs in them which means they are also getting ready for Spring spawn. That will make them more aggressive. No real monsters caught but boy have we seen some. Suckers in just the right size set just right have tripped some flags.
SPECIAL NOTE: 11 Mile Marina is located at the North Shore in Eleven Mile State Park, Lake George Colorado. A CPW Park Pass is required on all vehicles entering the Park. Any fees for Guide/Outfitter/Rental services do not include Park fees, CO fishing license or gratuities.
