Go to CPW link above for information. As a licensed CO Retail Food Establishment we follow all mandated guidelines and then some.

.WATER TEMP: 64
Water Flow 260 CFS IN 312 CFS Out
CURRENT CONDITIONS: Witchers Cove boat ramp is closed. Park office is open closed on Wednesday and Thursday. Showers and laundry are closed. Expect huge crowds every weekend. With the Park office closed on Wed and Thurs we are inundated on those days with folks frustrated for Park services that we do not provide.
WATERCRAFT RENTALS: As people massively stream to the great outdoors to get respite from all that is Covid-19 we completely understand the need and desire to go boating and fishing. However the demand has exceeded our ability to provide the service that we would like to provide. The phone never stops ringing and we apologize for not being able to answer it. In addition to unprecedented demand we are required to work with reduced staff. We have decided to take the following action in an effort to eliminate the frustration of both customers and ourselves. Until further notice we will not be taking watercraft rental reservations over the phone. All boats will be first come first served or by previous reservation or reservation made in house. In addition reservations do not guarantee equipment. Our boats are being abused beyond belief. We went through 12 props in six days. At that rate we won’t have props to replace. Due to supply chain issues we are unable to get parts for repairs when people break things as they are known to do. So it is very possible as we get deeper into the season that boats may be off line due to circumstances beyond our control.
PIC # 1 At least the beer is here!

TROUT:: GOOD: Although there have been some slow times the action remains good. Generally when it is hot and calm the bite is a little slower. Weeds are beginning to be an issue for trolling The weeds are usually down early am but get bad as the sun gets higher in the sky. Tas Devils, Kastmasters and Needlefish continue to be Eleven Mile favorites. When the weeds get bad we move into jigging tubes and marabous and that has been coming on of late. We like white, greens and browns with a little scent of some sort. Scent products are illegal at Spinney but not at Eleven Mile. Pautske has come out with a new product called Fire Jell that we have had really good success with. Just schmear it on.
Shore action has been good with people pitching Kastmasters or your favorite bait There has been an interesting early afternoon bite usually before the funky afternoon weather moves in
KOKANEE SALMON: POOR: They are there but hard to entice. You can still pic one up here and there but that is about the best we have seen. Early morning seems to be better. Try Macks Wedding rings.
NORTHERN PIKE:: FAIR TO GOOD: Action is consistent for smaller fish The big ones don;t like calm conditions and we have had that in the early parts of the day. Work the weed lines on the west or rock drop offs on the east. Big sticks and Spinner baits have done well. And of course we catch em on the Kastmaster which has been one of the better performing lures n general this season. Firetiger always a good pattern to throw.
SERIOUS FISHERMEN TEAM PIKE TOURNAMENT has become another Covid casualty. Due to restrictions placed on us and the general unknown as to where these recent spikes are headed we have decided to take a pass this year on the contest. SORRY but we just think it is best all things considered.
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.
The WEEKLY FISHING REPORT is produced by fishermen for fishermen. We try to get it done every Thursday but some times fishing or life gets in the way. So if its not there on Thursday morning it will show up by Friday. We appreciate all the support and acknowledge that many of you won't miss a week but every now and then we might. Be Safe. Fish On!
