CURRENT CONDITIONS: There are no issues with the ice. This was an awesome Winter week in the first days of Spring. Snow and cold have kept the ice cap just like it was last week maybe even better. Snow melts fast when the sun comes out. All fishing access areas are open. A very tiny bit of open water at the West end where the river comes in. Pretty typical but no shore fishing opportunity. We call the next few weeks TROPHY SEASON. If its on late ice or the earliest of water at the shore you can catch a fish of a life time. No boat required. As we have mentioned the earliest we have ever seen the lake open to boating was March 15 and the latest was May 10. The ice is thick but starting to candle from below. Lake level is still down.
THE COVID THE PARK THE MARINA UPDATE: The color dial has been modified. Park County is now blue. No restrictions on outdoor activities. Indoor dining is 50% of capacity. Retail outlets 50 to 75% of capacity. Go to Park County website for details. Be safe, things are improving.but some neighbors here who each had shot #1 now have Covid 19.. Hmmm

PIC # 6: BEAUTIFUL You don’t have to love fishing to love Eleven Mile. Come experience it for yourself. The geese are in Spring is on the way.
TROUT: GOOD TO VERY GOOD: Late ice action is picking up as fish move through spawn mode. Not always hungry but often aggressive. They are taking bait off the bottom and jigs depending on the time of the day. Tube and marabou jigs working well. Stink em up with Pautzke Fire Gel. Couldn’t hurt. We have shrimp, crawfish and trout scents that all seem productive. Shallow water is where most of the trophy fish are. Try 3 to 5 feet at any sandy area around the Lake. We like Howbert, Lazy Boy, North Shore and Corral Cove.
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: One thing is for sure if you are a dedicated salmon addict this season was acceptable to say the least. We did not get skunked once. Now we may have only caught one or two on some outings but the opportunities have consistently been there through out the Winter. Most Kokanee anglers don’t like to brag or give away their spots but we can assure you there have been full smokers at home. North Shore has been to good in 55 to 60 feet of water. Fish suspended 25 to 40. Rainbow 1/4oz Kastmaster was hot this week.
NORTHERN PIKE: GOOD: As predicted the late ice action is getting better by the day. Fish shallow for best results. Chartreuse is a good color this time of year. They are finicky most days but there have been some slam jam aggressive days too. Mid afternoon has been productive. North Shore , Stoll Mountain and Witchers Cove good places to try. If they hit your Trout rig just right and you are super lucky you might ice a monster. We have consistently seen over the years incredibly large Pike caught at ice off on Chartreuse Power Bait. Get ready!
