SORRY WE NO LONGER RENT CANOES, KAYAKS OR SUPS

CURRENT CONDITIONS: A few nighttime thunder storms keeping things green. Weed growth on the lake accelerating. Some pelicans are getting aggressive, following boats and swooping in to steal fish on your line. Our best guess is people are feeding the birds from their boats while cleaning fish on the lake. We have seen this happen as large crowds of pelicans and seagulls swarm around the boat of the offending party. Now they are associating boats with a meal.even if they have to grab it from your line. Please don’t feed the wildlife.

LAKE OPEN TO BOATING: Half hour before sunrise to half hour after.

PIC # 2: Andrew, Conner and Uncle Doug have a great time with Larry/11Mile Marina.

TROUT: GOOD: Boaters are seeing good action around the lake. Lead core trolling rigs are hot. Come in and lets us show you our selection ready to fish. Bite times vary and each day may take an adjustment. Rapala’s still doing well. They are usually a strong Spring bait but they continue to catch nice fish. Kastmasters with reflecting tape gold, chrome or red have performed well. Sundown into dark best from shore. Lots of baits effective. Many like night crawler and tiny white mallow.

KOKANEE SALMON: POOR: Not even seeing one of two here or there. Mostly opportunities lost as when you do get one on they don’t quit fighting and always seem to get off. Pink and Chartreuse are good colors. Tas Devils, Kokanee Kustoms, Macks wedding rings and pink Needlefish are good bets that catch Trout while your hoping for a salmon.

NORTHERN PIKE: FAIR TO GOOD: Starting to see more fish being landed mostly smaller but a few decent ones here and there. Try trolling big sticks in 15 feet of water. Also big white or chartreuse tube jigs. Bill’s Spinner Baits in black/blue and brown/orange doing well only available here or Valley Country Tackle. Spinney reports still seeing bigger fish being caught.

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.
