CONTEST STAFF NEEDED: If you would like to get paid to have fun and make new friends email larry at elevenmile@hotmail.com. Need tournament officials and general help
CURRENT CONDITIONS: ICE ON. About 2 to 4 inches of new snow. Roads are snow packed and icy. Not much on the South side mostly on the North. Ice was getting weird with the warm and windy conditions we have had. One day it got up to 53 degrees, not good for the ice. It may be a little easier to spot dangerous areas. Look for wet snow and pressure ridges, stay clear. Test holes advised as you go out. Not much thicker than it was last week and maybe less in spots. Cross Creek and Sucker Cove would be the thickest but we did see open water a few days ago where the river comes in. It is appropriate to use extreme caution. There have been numerous stories of folks going through the ice. That is a scary scenario luckily everyone got out safely.
WE RENT ICE FISHING EQUIPMENT: Reservations highly advised or first come first served
WATERCRAFT RENTAL: In addition to contest sign up you can reserve boats now for 2023 at 2022 rates by clicking the REGISTER NOW box.
WATER FLOW: 135 CFS IN 144 CFS OUT
WATERDOGS: Waterdogs have been a hot bait for PIKE through the ice. We have made predictions before regarding supply issues on certain products as things have been challenging the last two years. We don’t see good news on waterdogs moving forward. Drought conditions in critical areas and early freeze will more than likely restrict supply overall. We just got some in and anticipate there being a supply in the early part of the season. But when they’re gone the right size will be near impossible to get. Bring your bait bucket and put them up..they last a long time.
Weather Station: Although we got our on site live weather station working as seen below we have had technical issues with the camera feed and still have not solved the problem.
ELEVEN MILE STATE PARK IS LOCATED IN THE SOUTH PARK NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA
SPINNEY MOUNTAIN STATE PARK: Closed for the Season.

PIC # 1: This is the first limit we are aware of and nice ones at that. This angler had tried a variety of areas before scoring yesterday. Swedish Pimple and or Rainbow Kastmaster did the trick and they were all caught in a one hour period pretty deep. We promised we would not disclose his spot. Hey there’s a contest coming up we get it. pic courtesy F. Lake
PIC # 2: A happy young angler did well with his Dad off of Rocking Chair. Pic courtesy B.Box
PIC # 3: He shoots he SCORES!! We have the hockey nets here if you want to play. We will not be removing snow and creating a ice rink until CPW allows us to have ATV on the ice.
TROUT: GOOD: The catching has been hot and cold with some days just off the hook excuse the pun and others not a fish to be seen. Most anglers doing well no matter where they go. Points West continue to be consistent. Rocky Flats and Howbert have been particularly fun. Action is consistent in water ranging from 10 to 20 feet. Tube and crappie jigs are productive. Krystal Lazers, Tiny Tots, Rat Finke and Ratso’s have also done well along with a variety of spoons. Try Northland Buck Shot Rattle or Forage Minnow Spoons. Big Trout have also been hitting Waterdogs.
KOKANEE SALMON: GET READY: Above pic shows that they are starting to bite providing you are at the right place at the right time. As we have mentioned look to points East early Season as they move West as things progress. Above fish caught 40 feet down on spoons tipped with gold meal worm.
NORTHERN PIKE: GOOD: A decent number of anglers are catching nice ones. Smaller fish the order of the day but bigger ones are on the prowl and hitting. Waterdogs and suckers are both effective. Areas from North Shore all the way West have seen action.
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.
