TROUT: GOOD: This is the time of the season to fish shallow for big fish. Electronics doesn’t do much good in 4 feet of water. Look for sandy bottom. North Shore in particular is good but this approach should work most anywhere on the lake. Bigger fish are set to spawn and are cruising under the ice to make spawn beds. Lots of stockers are cruising in and out which is a good thing as big Trout and Pike are also on the prowl trapping smaller fish in ice capped shallows. Pink jigs like the Eagle Claw Paddle Bug and 11 Mile Marina Krystal Lazer have been very effective. Bait is also very effective in the shallows. Nightcrawler, salmon eggs and spawn sack laying on the bottom. They will suck them in, better be quick on the hook set.
For those that know all about ice off shore fishing it looks to be maybe 2 weeks off still. The big ones await those that brave the Spring conditions of cold wind and snow. Its Trophy season for sure. Tube jigs, Rapala. Flatfish and all kinds of bait can be your lucky ticket.
KOKANEE SALMON: FAIR: Catching has remained the same. Difficult. We think we have made our last trip out. The last weeks of the season remained a 1 or 2 affair.
NORTHERN PIKE: FAIR TO GOOD: There are big ones cruising the shallows in search of easy pickings. Some have shown interest but many are or so careful. Noise will scare them away. It’s better to leave your bait dead in the water rather than move or jig it once they come in on you. Scaring them away is way easier than you think. If they want it they will take it a some point. Leave it be have patience deep breathing.
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.
