Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.
ELEVEN MILE STATE PARK IS LOCATED IN THE SOUTH PARK NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA
CURRENT CONDITIONS: 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 running 22 to 30 hard inches with a snow cap of 6 to 12 inches. Better be in good shape or go with some one who is because it can be work to get set up. Sharp blades? Might be a good idea. Rodgers Mountain and Lazy Boy access are still closed due to drifting snow. We had more wind and blowing. All other fishing access areas are open. Roads are clear with icy spots. This is what real ice fisher people love and want to see…..a longer season. Most of March more than likely.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR: EAGLE CLAW PRESENTS THE 2020 COLORADO CLASSIC ICE FISHING TOURNAMENT SERIES: MARINA MARCH MADNESS will be held at the North Shore location. It’s a large and expansive area but teams must fish there. Sorry NO Basketball (those days are just a memory). Details will be printed and given to each team. 3 fishing sets.
TROUT::FAIR TO GOOD: Some have seen slower conditions others continue to do really well. Stockers still hanging out at North Shore but are also hanging at Coyote Ridge and Corral Cove. There are bigger fish chasing them into shallow water. Other areas like Howbert and Stoll seeing typical and standard Cuttbows running 16 to 19 inches. Lazers, Tots, Tube jigs, Trout Traps and Marabous doing good. Change up color and size if rejected and don’t forget the spoons tipped with something always a good bet. We have garlic meal worms and they are working very good. Look to mid morning for a strong bite. No fish in an hour must move even if its just a little bit. A little move can often make a big difference.
KOKANEE SALMON: FAIR: The hike is not fun but when the schools stop underneath you it can be lots of fun. The larger schools tend to be the smaller fish. They have been biting better but they are still a challenging fish to catch. Limit of 10 does not come easy or at all. Some anglers report getting to 6-8. We still like working bigger spoons like the Krocodile, Kastmaster and Swedish Pimple. The pearl white Kroc did well last week. You always seem to catch a few Trout in the process so it’s worth the effort to score a few salmon bellies. And nothing is more exciting then seeing your Vexilar light up like a Christmas tree.
NORTHERN PIKE: FAIR We saw some improvement today with fish being more aggressive and shredding those dogs.: A slower ice season to be sure. We are hoping action picks up as we move into March. The fish are there but only the smaller ones seem to be interested. Patience and persistence can pay off. Try Rocky Flats to Stoll Mountain. North Shore has seen some monsters but they seem to be only interested in the stockers hanging around. Waterdogs and suckers best bet. The closer to the rocks the more fish we see. Try 3 to 12 feet of water as they tend to try and corral the smaller fish in the shallows.
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.

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. Report takes a vacation in November. Fish On!
