WATER FLOW: 67.6  CFS   IN   99  CFS OUT.

WATER TEMP: 49

TROUT: VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT: Lots of fish being caught. Cuttbows are the biggest ranging to 8 pounds with lots of beautiful Cutthroats in the 2 to 3 pound range being landed. It is football season in more ways than one. People continue to be impressed by the sheer girth of  fish being caught this Fall. Many methods are having success and the numbers of large fish being caught is just amazing. It is sad about the state of Salmon fishing here but the Trout action has rarely been better.

SALMON:  POOR:  There are some moving up river. Try Sucker Cove to Cross Creek. Snagging Season opened October 1.  DOW will be reducing the stocking numbers this year from 900,000 to 500,000. If the Gill Lice persists things will remain the same.
NORTHERN PIKE: GOOD:  Cooler water temperatures tell them its time to eat just a bit more. Trolling or pitching. Work Cross Creek to Rocky Flats. Spoons and sticks do the trick. Not lots of monsters but decent fish being caught.

ICE FISHING IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER.

WATER FLOW: 247 CFS   IN   197  CFS OUT.

WATER TEMP: 55

TROUT: GOOD TO VERY GOOD: Lots of big fish being caught. Cuttbows are the biggest with lots of beautiful Cutthroats in the 2 to 3 pound range being landed. A recent stocking of catchable cuttbows have quickly spread through out the lake. Shore or boat this is the time you want to be fishing if a trophy is your desire or a fresh fish dinner for the family is on the menu. Most successful bait from shore has been night crawlers or Power Bait. Lots of action on jigs and flies as well as Tasmanian Devils, Rapala, Kastmaster and Needlefish on the troll.

SALMON:  POOR:  You would think you would see some four year old’s schooling up. Sounds like bad news to us. Snagging Season opened October 1. We have heard of a few fish being snagged at the North Shore and around Sucker Cove. DOW will be reducing the stocking numbers this year from 900,000 to 500,000. If the Gill Lice persists things will remain the same.
NORTHERN PIKE: GOOD: Finally we are seeing decent action. Not lots of big fish but better numbers of moderate size ones. Enough action to keep you smiling. Things should improve through the month. Stoll Mtn to Rocky Flats and Howbert to Goose Island have been productive.

SALMON:  POOR:  You would think you would see some four year old’s schooling up. Sounds like bad news to us. Snagging Season opened October 1. We have heard no reports of success. The situation is grim indeed. If Wildlife gets small numbers up the river the answer is clear. Gill Lice. Its time to set new policy but what to do? Perhaps let all remaining salmon stocks play out with no additional stocking. Then begin a new round. We are talking long term. In other words there would be no salmon fishing here for up to seven years. Bad news for all concerned. But if these fish keep reinfecting each other we are just throwing money away.
NORTHERN PIKE: GOOD: Finally we are seeing decent action. Not lots of big fish but better numbers of moderate size ones. Enough action to keep you smiling. Things should improve through the month. Stoll Mtn to Rocky Flats and Howbert to Goose Island have been productive.

TROUT: GOOD TO VERY GOOD: Lots of big fish being caught. Cuttbows are the biggest with lots of beautiful Cutthroats in the 2 to 3 pound range being landed. A recent stocking of catchable cuttbows have quickly spread through out the lake and some times get in you way. Shore or boat this is the time you want to be fishing if a trophy is your desire or a fresh fish dinner for the family is on the menu. Most successful bait from shore has been night crawlers or Power Bait. Lots of action on jigs and flies as well as Tasmanian Devils on the troll.

SALMON:  POOR: Since its just about October you would think you would see some four year old’s schooling up. Sounds like bad news to us.
NORTHERN PIKE: FAIR: The season that never really kicked it  is still in the same mode. Fish are catchable but require effort. You hit a hot run for a short period of time. Try Spinner Baits worked super slow, Rapala’s and Daredevle’s. A few moderate size fish have been landed. Try Howbert to Goose Island or Rocky Flats to North Shore.

MARINA NEWS: Our original nine year contract to operate a marina concession with Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife and Denver Water expires in October. The concession was put out to public bid through the State RFP process in August. We are very pleased to announce that we have been awarded a new term that will be nine years with an option for a five year renewal. With this long term approach we hope to expand and improve services. Although not a done deal yet we hope to one day build cabins in the Park in addition to other services for Park visitors.

WATER FLOW: 101 CFS   IN   62.5  CFS OUT

WATER TEMP: 61

TROUT: GOOD: As we slowly move into Fall the bigger fish will be moving in closer to shore. Trolling has been less productive than in weeks past but still producing some nice ones. You do have to work it. Changing up baits and working cove areas. Those drifting or anchoring and working various tubes and maribous or fly rod have been rewarded with nice Cuttbows over 20 inches ranging 4 to 6 pounds.
