Cold temps last night -4 making some shoreline ice. Lake is wide open Shore fishing opportunities abound. The ice in shallow areas in morning more than likely will be gone by days end. Back to the 50’s by weekend but cold at night. Won’t be long. Some campsites around the lake are closed. Electric sites at Rocky Ridge behind Park Office open. We anticipate the lake to freeze in a traditional time frame which would be early to mid December.. Extreme caution advised for early ice. We like 4 minimum. Early ice is volatile.

FISHING REPORT NEWS: It takes time and dedication to produce The Weekly Fishing Report. It is challenging in the high season We have more time to work on things in the off season. Winter is upon us and we have a love and passion for spiritual Eleven Mile. and its hard water angling. We try hard to stick to the script…catching fish at Eleven Mile. Looking to make the report even better we hope to soon add by popular request, a weather cam pointed at the boat ramp in addition to a new weather station link to our specific location. We also will highlight our Winter Contest Sponsors products and the latest fishing gear tested by our Guides that work for us. We appreciate the reports and pics from our readers. Please keep them coming. For all those that send pics and reports this Winter make sure to stop in for a free 11 Mile Marina Krystal Lazer or Tiny Tot ice jig AND Winter is time for our annual pic contest. All entries published qualify for a chance to win $100.00 in store credit. AND we have created an opportunity to help out and say thanks VIA clicking SUPPORT THE REPORT All donations most appreciated and will be used to improve and add to the report in 2022. THANKS FOR FOLLOWING AND SUPPORTING THE 11 MILE MARINA WEEKLY FISHING REPORT. It’s about the catching HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY SEASON
WINTER ICE SKATING: We tested maintaining an ice skating area behind the Marina last Winter and it was well received. This year we will attempt to maintain one area for hockey with nets and one area just for skating.. In an effort to provide a non fishing Winter activity the Park has encouraged and supported our efforts. Last year families fished and skated for fun fun fun!!!

SUPPLY CHAIN UPDATE: As we move into Winter issues will be obvious just like all industries. Expect to see a decent selection in your favorite store early in the Season. Here are direct reports from some manufacturers. Luhr Jensen currently has ZERO Krocodiles in stock and very few Needlefish. We use both ice fishing with an emphasis on Krocs. StrikeMaster has ZERO Lithium power augers in back stock. All existing inventory sitting in retail. Acme has very little new product such as RattleMaster, Tungsten and D-chain. Eagle Claw has told us to expect not more than 60% of what we ordered. Pure Fishing continues to have issues in most product lines. Hawken Tackle makers of Trout Traps says they have no way of knowing when things will show up and they currently have nothing in stock WOW. None of them have any idea when things will show up. For the most part things have been made and shipped. So product by product things can change daily based on what container gets out of port. If the core states like MN, WI etc in the mid west have a good ice Winter the pressure on product will increase St, Croix which manufactures most but not all products in the USA cannot keep up with demand. OH those pesky consumers LOL. Bottom line is we will have plenty of stuff to fish with but not necessarily what you want when you want it. The new post pandemic normal for now is take what you can get catch what you can!!!.

PIC # 1: Caught on 1/4 oz Black Marabou Jig. 25 little over 7lbs
PIC # 2: Released
PIC # 3: Curtis lands this 23 little over 6lb Cuttbow at Corral Cove. Nightcrawler
PIC # 4: Acme Kastmaster brand is owned by Hard & Soft Bait Co of Atkinson WI. They have informed us that we are the #1 retailer of Kastmaster lures in the USA. The bottom line is the lure catches. We have caught fish all over the place which includes many places outside of CO. But when it comes to Eleven Mile and Spinney they are at the top. The lure that has been referred to by some anglers as their lucky charm. We sell more because we stock more variety than other outlets. This pic shows some new items that will be difficult to get or already are. The DR Tungsten is a significantly heavier lure with a 1/8 oz spoon having the equivalent drop rate of a 1/4 oz. We have these only in 1/8 and 1/12. The Rattle Master, The Bait Fish the Chain Master AND the brand new Acme Hyper Hammer TT (turnable tale) ice jig. It’s hot while supplies last!
PIC # 5: LOST AND FOUND. We have all done it. Leave something behind. This nice catch and release net was left on the dock at the little boat cove as we call it a week or so ago. If it’s yours we are holding it. Happy Thanksgiving
TROUT: FAIR : The action has been sporadic with a fair number of skunks walking the shoreline and a fair number of big fish being landed. Cuttbows 17 to 20 inches with quite a few bigger Gunkers. Bait particularly Night Crawlers have been consistent. Tube and Marabou jigs have been our choice with white, green and pumpkin doing well. You can fish all day and not do so good but concentrate on 1/2 hour before and 1/2 hour after sunrise or sundown and do well.
KOKANEE SALMON: NO REPORT: The river saw great action on 4 year olds all Fall.
NORTHERN PIKE: FAIR TO POOR: A few here and there but mostly quite on the Pike front. Those caught were surprise surprise for Trout anglers.
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!
