CONTEST UPDATE: It looks like we will not be having the contests. We have been ignored. Dumbest thing we have ever heard. There was no asking for a plan it was only telling us we could not have them and that is WRONG We are a licensed Colorado grocery store and operate under all required guidelines. Our contest rules require you fish 30 feet away from any one else in the contest. We were prepared to cancel the award ceremony. Makes no sense but it is what it is at this point. Hope to see you all next season in a competitive mood.

WATER FLOW: 128 CFS IN 72.5 CFS OUT At this rate the level is slowly rising. They are obviously moving to refill the lake so ice conditions may vary dramatically. Where do they get the water in Winter…Spinney.
ICE FISHING TIP OF THE WEEK: If you have a shelter. Ice Anchors. It is South Park.. If it is really cold there will likely be no wind. But if it is warm your chances for wind greatly increase. Be prepared.

PIC # 1: What a fantastic fish. This season has seen a good number of very large fish like this. Good job and congratulations Brianna. Pic courtesy B. Boyd.
PIC # 2: When you get that kind of a fish you are hooked for life. Cheryl certainly is. Congratulations!! Pic courtesy David Acosta
PIC # 3: That’s two off a limit. Way to go. Best we have seen so far this year. Congratulations Dave you know what you are doing because to get 8 that’s what it takes! Pic courtesy D. Jones.
PIC # 4: Andy caught this 5.4lbs beauty off Stoll on 01.13 in 30 feet of water tube jig on the bottom. Congratulations pic. courtesy A. Bennett
TROUT: GOOD: Action was a little bit slower but there was no shortage of big fish landed. 15 to 20 feet seems to be a consistently productive depth. Most big ones hit just off the bottom although you never know. We have seen giants just below the ice. Many different baits continue to produce. Stop in for the latest info before you hit the ice or take a lunch break for the up to the minute report.
We like our 11 Mile Krystal Lazers and tiny Tots. You can almost always catch a fish on one of them. It just depends on the color de jour. Orange has been coming on lately as well as greens both dark and light. If the won’t hit your jig drop down to just the bait.
KOKANEE SALMON: FAIR TO GOOD: We have to put good because Dave in pic # 3 killed it so it is doable. But they are the most finiky fish you will find. We have seen very large schools at a variety of depths right down to the bottom in 60 feet. They are on the move and some times its seems almost impossible to entice. But as Dave will tell you when they are hitting it is an adrenaline rush to be sure. We are putting a bait down to the bottom and can move it up to fish faster than we can get it down. So we live with one up and one down. The fish have come through at every conceivable depth 15 feet to the bottom.
NORTHERN PIKE: GOOD: Action continues to be consistently good with lots of impressive fish being caught. Water dogs and suckers continue their productive run with size and presentation absolutely mattering. Nice fish have been reported caught all around the lake with Stoll to Cross Creek being very productive. 8 to 12 feet of water has been good. Mid morning and mid afternoon has seen the better bite.
