CURRENT CONDITIONS: Since last Sunday its been near impossible to get on the ice without having to deal with bad winds. This has kept a lot of anglers at bay. It’s just no fun when winds hit 40mph. Things have calmed down quite bit but breezy is still in the forecast. Ice thickness hitting 23 or more inches. Very little new snow and what did come down blew around. Trekking on the lake with equipment is still Winter conditions. Roads and access are clear and dry accept for wind blown snow in spots.

EAGLE CLAW COLORADO CLASSIC ICE FISHING TOURNAMENT 2023: MARINA MARCH MADNESS MARCH 11. This super fun event has had its changes over the last 20 years. All angling is done in an expansive designated area near the marina. There were some years where there was no accessible ice at the North Shore and we opened the contest up to the whole lake. Whenever conditions allow we have it here and there should be no issues this year. There will be three 2 hour contest sets of fishing with cash and points earned for each set. The BFP is a random draw from potentially three qualifying fish. Use your own equipment. Live Entertainment at the 20th Anniversary Awards ceremony/BBQ. SIGN UP NOW.

TROUT: FAIR TO GOOD: The few anglers that made it out reported good action. A variety of size fish. Not just stockers. A variety of baits were working with lots of success on the Pink Krystal Lazer tipped with a meal worm. Colors as you know can change daily even hourly but Pink is generally a go to color here over time. Spoons which have been slow of late have seen decent action with the likes of the Northland Buckshot Rattle. Fire Tiger has been a good pattern. Fish have been caught deep and shallow. The shallow fish tend to prefer bait like worms, salmon eggs even power bait. The deeper ones hit a well worked spoon. Our experience is fish bite better in the wind even when its ice capped. Is that possible?
KOKANEE SALMON: FAIR: With the past fresh snow and wind conditions even the hardiest Kokanee addicts have been laying low. It’s a long grueling hike particularly for as slow as it has been. BUT for those that have made it out more positive reports have come in. Many more fish being marked with lots of rejection but some definitely being caught. Early has been better. Swedish Pimples and Kastmasters the best bet.
NORTHERN PIKE: FAIR: Action is still not where we would like but that’s what catching is all about. Its hard to tell if moving is worth it when you see the tip up flag spring up after a long wait sitting there with no action for hours. Maybe its best to work an area with one tip up as a centerpiece while moving in a 360 swing around over the course of the day. Most fish have been smaller with a few monsters swimming unfazed under your shelter. Just that sight is sometimes worth the trip. Or at least a good skunk excuse.
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.
