TROUT: EXCELLENT: It’s a catchathon out on the boats particularly for those using lead core rigs. The exclusive Kastmasters doing great. Needlefish and Tas Devils also kicking it! Bite has been a little later in the day. Lots of Cuttbows 14 to 16 inches with occasional Lunkers. When its calm its a little more difficult a mild breeze helps a bunch.

KOKANEE SALMON: FAIR TO GOOD : It is clearly one day hot one day not. Timing and conditions make the big difference. Can’t catch them if you don’t try. Kokanee Kustoms, Macks Wedding Rings with Dodger. Go through your tackle box and try different things. Long line a pink Tas when its windy the fish come close to the surface.

NORTHERN PIKE: FAIR TO GOOD: Work the coves all around the lake. We like East of Howbert to Witchers. Most run West we head East. Time to work the Spinner baits. The 1st Gen we have are beginning to see action. Rapala and big sticks still producing. Big fish are far and few between but small to moderate size are showing up more frequently.

PIC #2: Josie catches her first Cuttbow and Kokanee. Catching memories at the Mile. pic courtesy. Pic courtesy J. Kiser

PIC # 3: The Eleven Mile football fish. Don’t need a boat to catch the memories!

PIC # 4: WINNER WINNER $50.00 Gift card. This May’s photo winner is Shelby and her son Wyatt. It’s not always the big fish. This is a small fish with a BIG story. Shelby and her son spent a few days here over the holiday. He wanted to go fishing in the worst way. He had never caught one nor had she. They came into the Marina for assistance. We gave them help showing how to tie knots, make a proper rig etc. They tried really hard. Had some action with Power Bait but couldn’t hook them. Finally out on a boat trolling a lead core they each caught their fist fish. The happiness factor was off the charts and a future lifelong young angler was hooked. Now that’s another catching Memory!!!

PIC # 5: Come check out our Tasmanian selection.

TROUT: GOOD TO VERY GOOD: As the hatch dissipates the fish have gorged and stretched those stomachs. Then they go into a biting frenzy. Lots of Cuttbows 13 to 15 inches. We are catching 20 to 30 fish on a trip. No time to snack. Bigger ones a little elusive they will start coming on again soon. Many baits work but not all. Some lures are hot one day and then cold the next. Needlefish, Thomas Bouyants, Kastmaster, Rapala some of the hot tickets. Stop in for the latest updates.

KOKANEE SALMON: FAIR : They are being caught and every now and then someone gets a limit. Many are big three and four year olds. If you put in the time and know what you are doing you will catch some. Look to North Shore to Duck Island and Duck Island to Deer Island. Fish are suspended 10 to 40 feet. Most successful technique is trolling lead core with a dodger and a Macks wedding Ring, Squid or Kokanee Kustoms. We have tipped them with Pink Gulp Alive Maggots. Mack’s Imperial Spoons in orange or chartreuse have done well.

NORTHERN PIKE: FAIR TO GOOD: Work the coves all around the lake. We like East of Howbert to Witchers. Most run West we head East. Time to work the Spinner baits. The 1st Gen we have are beginning to see action. Rapala and big sticks still producing. Big fish are far and few between but small to moderate size are showing up more frequently.

PARK OPEN 24/7/365

CURRENT CONDITIONS: All Park campsites and facilities are open. Spring is springing The annual hatch is in full swing should be over in a week or so. It can slow the bite up a little. Lots of great moisture with passing fronts. They don’t last long but can be heavy. No Fire Ban always great news. It’s getting green.

CR 90/92 was redone last year. We are beyond disappointed in what Park County has done. If the road doesn’t get paved in the future it will be an ongoing headache of a massive proportion. We know that the County has many miles of road and they fight with the State as to who should bare responsibility for traffic into the State Parks. But as far as we can see a good resolution has not been reached. This road is nothing short of shameful. Something has to be done to rectify this horrible County negligence that is damaging our vehicles, trailers and boats. Poisoning the environment with Mag Chloride, creating hazardous driving conditions and who knows what else. We see wildlife drinking from pools of mag chloride mud water after rains. Who in County Government thought this was a good idea should resign. Maybe that includes the entire County BOCC. We try to avoid discussing anything but catching fish in this report but this is an exception along with the Cell Tower which btw has done little to nothing to improve service and a lot to destroy a beautiful view.

TROUT: FAIR TO GOOD: The annual hatch has put a crimp in the strong bite we were experiencing. Mostly smaller Cuttbows being caught trolling a variety of baits behind lead core. Other methods are challenged with natural competition from all the bugs. Action at night still strong. As soon as the hatch is over the bite will be in high gear which should be soon.

KOKANEE SALMON: FAIR: If you put in the time and know what you are doing you will catch some. Look to North Shore to Duck Island and Duck Island to Deer Island. Fish are suspended 10 to 40 feet. Most successful technique is trolling lead core with a dodger and a Macks wedding Ring, Squid or Kokanee Kustoms. We have tipped them with Pink Gulp Alive Maggots.

NORTHERN PIKE: FAIR TO GOOD: Action continues on the West End is good with Stoll to Cross Creek seeing some nice fish. Trolling big Sticks like the F18 Rapala Pike Pattern in particular have seen success. Look to late morning through early afternoon as a good time for the bite.

I was top lining one and the other with with a size 1 tadpole diver down about 15ft - 20ft and they were eating it up! 1.8mph - 2.1mph, we had easily 10 in about an hour.

PIC #1: Lots of nice Browns so far this year at Eleven Mile and Spinney. This beauty is from Spinney. Pic courtesy Jay

PIC #2: A couple of Pelicans at Duck Island with Mom sitting on a few eggs. Pic courtesy Jamie J and Alex the boat driver.

PIC # 3: Shore action for this young angler brought a big Pike. A few truck bed liner imprints for effect. Caught on a nightcrawler.

PIC # 4: The Tasmanian Devil not often copied and never duplicated. This unique spoon has been a mainstay here at the Mile, Spinney and Antero for years. We have a very good selection with emphasis on Pink colors but lots of other productive patterns. In addition we have packs of back up beads, or the wire hooks in both 7 and 13 gram both single and treble hook. We really like the single hook. Come check them out.

TROUT: FAIR TO GOOD: Shore action still good boat action picking up. Those on shore using Power Bait, Nightcrawlers and spawn sacs finding success. Those pitching Kastmaster, Thomas Buoyant and popping tubes doing well. Black Wooly Bugger and Black Leach have performed nicely. Boaters having a mixed bag with trollers finding luck with lead core and Pink, Arnies Dynamac, Jointed Rapala and Tas Devils in Pink on them. Bite times vary look to sunrise, midmorning, early afternoon and sundown.

KOKANEE SALMON: FAIR: Boat inspectors report one boat that came through the other day with four big Kokanee. Other than that we have not seen any but those were a good sign and caught straight out from the Marina in 60 feet of water only 10 feet down. Pink Needlefish. Also try Mack’s Wedding Rings and Kokanee Kustoms on lead core with about a 15 foot leader.

NORTHERN PIKE: FAIR: Action is picking up in the shallows on the West end and around the lake in general. Troll the shallows with the F18 Pike Pattern Rapala if you are really serious. They had cancelled that pattern a few years ago but brought it back last year. A little hard to find but we currently have some in stock. People having Pike experiences from shore meaning seeing and losing some decent fish with a few anglers scoring like in the pic above.

PIC #1: WOW some one knows how to catch Eleven Mile Kokanee

PIC #2: Taylor sports one heck of a nice salmon. He caught 8 on the East end. Some were only 10 feet down and others as deep as 45 feet. He used a Dodger with a secrete bait that looked a lot like a Kokanee Kustoms which we just got in. Tyler Elwell of Woodland Park is the maker of those baits and made a few exclusively for us. Come on in and check them out

PIC # 3: The action from shore is hot particularly at Sunrise and Sunset as the big spawning fish are doing their thing and that seems to be peaking right now. Boaters are finding action to be slower than they would like but the shore anglers are smiling. One boater reported good action on the Tasmanian Devil Black Betty size 13gram. As the water warms action will pick up for the boaters. Try Rapala’s and Tas on the troll, pitch tubes and jigs on the drift. Timing and depth are critical.

PIC # 4: Gothic Pink Squid one of six exclusive patterns from Kokanee Kustoms. Won’t find those at Scheels. Come check them out.

PIC # 5: Two really nice ones also caught from shore. The nice Brown was caught on a nightcrawler.

SEND US YOUR PICS: Catching Memories. See your smiling face on the Weekly Report

TROUT: FAIR TO GOOD: Kastmasters and Rapala’s are showing off what they can do so far in this early season. Shore and boat have both produced when using them. Green Rainbow pop gear with night crawler on three foot leader shines in the Spring. Super slow troll, the slower the better. Fly action good close to shore using anything in black. Bait anglers liking the garlic flavored or salmon peach power baits. And night crawler and mallow always seems to catch a big one. Action found all around the lake.

KOKANEE SALMON: FAIR TO GOOD: Taylor knows what he is doing and tried many regular spots but only found schools on the East end off the channel from Deer Island to the buoy line. Some were suspended deep others were close to the surface. Use a Dodger and Macks or Kokanee Kustoms tipped with shoe peg corn or Gulp Alive Maggots. Stop in for latest updates

NORTHERN PIKE: FAIR TO POOR: A few smaller fish here and there. Look to better action as the water warms. Pitch or troll big sticks and spoons. Windy conditions help as the water gets cloudy in the shallows and they don’t see quite as well but hit just a s good as anytime.

Opening boating day saw about 30 boats. Catching was a mixed bag. It was pretty nice with calm conditions early but the cold water made for fair action. In typical Eleven Mile fashion for early season shore angling produces nice fish. Boaters do OK but things will pick up as the water warms.

PIC #1: Fun and a successful opening day.

PIC #2: Decent number of Browns like this showing up. Caught on Kastmaster. Pic courtesy J. Roberson

PIC # 3: Featured hot lure of the week. One thing is for sure there were a lot of fish caught on Kastmasters at Spinney and Eleven Mile this past week. The two fish in the Pics and reliable sources say the potential new State Record Cuttbow 20.3lbs landed opening day at Spinney were all caught on the Kastmaster. We have a famously great selection. Fire Tiger has always been one of our favorites. Jig, Cast or Troll your chances are always improved when used.

TROUT: GOOD: Shoreline action all around the lake. Last week was almost too windy to fish but when conditions cooperated so did the fish. Many different methods and baits are working.

The days have warmed and the wind has been kind. Stop in for latest info.

KOKANEE SALMON: NO REPORT

NORTHERN PIKE: FAIR: A few fish like Howards turning up. He swore he lost a monster. Pearl Pepper tube jig was his lucky bait. As the water warms action should pick up. You don’t need a boat to catch the ones you want. Big fish in shallow water.

TROUT: GOOD: The lake is waiting on you and so are the ice off big Trout. Lots of action around the reservoir in general. All the baits are working at some point in time through out the day. Sundown always good. Fly and a Bubble on a spinning rod works well this time of year. Use at least a three foot leader off a clear water filled bubble and reel very very slowly or just let it sit. Power Baits in orange and Rainbow working well garlic doesn’t hurt. Woolly Buggers, egg and leach patterns on the fly. Tubes and marabous on the jig. Jointed Rapala J9 and 11 great this time of year and of course the Kastmaster. We have seen Chrome/Blue and GNR work well. Work a spot or walk the shore but definitely time to wet a line. Lots of fish being caught from stockers to lunkers 20 inches and up. Stop in for the latest updates on the hot baits.

Most of our Winter clients are first timers or still learning with a few making us an annual trip and some looking to learn more about Eleven Mile.

TIME TO GO HARDWATER ANGLING

CURRENT CONDITIONS: ICE ON!!! Last week saw some really warm and windy conditions. Water started appearing at North Shore behind the Marina and from the boat dock to the skate rink was mostly open water for about 10 feet. This week saw a mostly unpredicted snow storm with almost one new foot of snow here ar the lake. We also saw some very nice cold temps with -20 showing it’s face this morning. All of the water refroze with some snow covering. If we can get a few more days of cold temps we should be fine for March Madness contest. Next week calls for warmer temps but time will tell. For now all systems go for contest at North Shore. If there is safe access somewhere along the shoreline the ice is still 15 plus inches almost 20 in spots. Caution advised anywhere you go.

ICE THICKNESS: 15 to 20 inches

PARK OPEN 24/7/365

PIC # 1: Hello, I've been fishing at 11 mile for several years. This is my biggest trout ever! I caught this earlier today on a deadstick with a small pink jig. Thanks for all the tips and keeping up with the fishing reports! -Wally pic courtesy Wally K
PIC # 2: EXCLUSIVE: You will not be able to find these pink “FLAMINGO” maggots anywhere in Colorado accept at 11 Mile Marina. We heard from our Distributor Discount Tackle in Denver just got a few jars. Sure to be a hot ice fishing bait. Also Strawberry Limeade with Garlic scent Power Bait exclusively at the Marina and our online store. We ran out last Saturday waiting on delivery now.

TROUT: GOOD: Action remains consistent. Dead stick small jigs seem to be the most productive. We are still seeing many big Trout in deeper water. The hike with fresh snow is a bit difficult. It should get easier as the days pass.

KOKANEE SALMON:FAIR TO GOOD: Usually you can catch a couple but if you are at the right place at the right time limits can be had. Blue/Silver 3/8 Kastmaster was hot this past week. Use big spoons get it down fast when fish are in. 25 to 45 feet seems to be the dept they like in 60 feet of water. They are moving around for sure.

NORTHERN PIKE:FAIR TO GOOD: 8 to 10 feet of water still seems to be the sweet spot. Water dogs still seem to be their favorite but finding the bite time of the day is the trick. Finding the fish has not been the issue. Patience and presentation are the key. Big white tubes with a piece of sucker meat brings them in but boy they sure do like to look more than they like to eat sometimes. Stop in we will point out some spots on the map you might want to try.

TIME TO GO HARDWATER ANGLING

CURRENT CONDITIONS: ICE ON!!! Cold blustery conditions kept most at bay this past week. A few anglers are getting back at it with a break in the brutally cold temps. It will still be sub zero early morning but it has been warming up quickly. We are talking ice fishing and the ice is getting thicker. You can always check the live weather report from our weather station at the bottom of the report. No new snow. Roads are clear with some snow packed and icy spots.

LEAD POSTER PIC: Lonny Schoon did nice work on this photo shop with the pic of his winning fish taken in his garage after he got home. SEE FULL RESULTS ON CONTEST PAGE

PIC # 1: Virgil is a great ice fishermen. He has sent us a number of pics over the years from here at the Mile and has been on the Weekly Report before. Think he is at least a member of the three timers club. The key to his success is time on the ice. He puts in the hours with determination. He was really proud of this Brown he caught at Antero recently and sent me the pic. Totally a fish to be proud of. Reports are Antero has it’s moment but has slowed up just like here. pic courtesy Virgil A. PIC # 2: Sorry I can’t stop looking at this pic until I do the same. They’re out there! Inspirational lol. pic courtesy John I.

We heard from our Distributor Discount Tackle in Denver just got a few jars. Sure to be a hot ice fishing bait. Also Strawberry Limeade with Garlic scent Power Bait exclusively at the Marina and our online store. We ran out last Saturday waiting on delivery now. PIC # 4: Nice one! Those Eleven Mile Pike are thick. pic courtesy Cole C.

TROUT: FAIR: North Shore Marina still seeing stocker action with occasional big fish being landed. Other areas that you might be use to have seen fewer fish and even fewer interested fish. Going small has been productive. Tiny Tots with half a meal worm or waxworm have done pretty good. Dead stick seems to be the best when using small micro jigs. Soft plastics like Sierra Slammers, tube jigs and paddle tail jigs have produced. The bigger tubes and paddle tails have not scared the bigger fish away. Bigger fish seen and caught in deeper water just below the ice. When we say deeper we are not talking about 25 feet we are talking more like 40 to 60 with the first 5 feet being where they are. It’s a hike but that’s where they are. Out from Rocking Chair in 40 feet, North Shore 40 to 60, Duck island 40 to 70 and Deer Island to Bouy line 60 to 80 feet just below the ice. That’s not to say you won’t see fish in shallow water but we have heard form frustrated anglers not doing well in their same old spots. You can’t fish the same spot all the time, with the same bait and expect the same results as early ice. We are into a real Winter now and it takes slightly more effort to locate the big ones.

KOKANEE SALMON:FAIR: There is still action out in the deep. No one has seen the production that the repeat pic shows but that does not mean its not possible. Most that have tried are coming away with 1 to 3 fish and stories about the ones that got away, so that is still encouraging. Swedish Pimples have done particularly well. The #5PFO and #3PFO are our favorites but it seems any Pimple will do pretty good as long as it has orange on it. We have an “Orange Ice” one that also does well tipped with the Gulp Maggot. You have to know the drill they often hit on the drop and it’s difficult for many to know when and how to set the hook. Takes practice. Plenty of Trout out there while your practicing. If you don’t have a jigging machine which is not a piece of equipment readily available at any stores make one. Come on in and we will show you ours. Very simple very effective…you can do it! We have tried over the years to sell ones made by others but generally they don’t produce enough to meet demand and then they quite. They do make a difference and dramatically increase your chances.

NORTHERN PIKE:FAIR TO GOOD: 8 to 10 feet of water still seems to be the sweet spot. Water dogs still seem to be their favorite but finding the bite time of the day is the trick. Finding the fish has not been the issue. Patience and presentation are the key. Big white tubes with a piece of sucker meat brings them in but boy they sure do like to look more than they like to eat sometimes. Stop in we will point out some spots on the map you might want to try.

TIME TO GO HARDWATER ANGLING

CURRENT CONDITIONS: ICE ON!!! They say its gong to get cold but it’s been cold here for weeks with an occasional mild day. Roads are clear with some snow packed and icy spots. Saturday contest day saw a super mild 27 degrees at check in (4:00AM). The day before was -27 and the day after was -22 in the early morning hours. When it’s that cold it might warm up to the low teens during the day. Weather reports have been inaccurate for here. It snows when it isn’t predicted and doesn’t when predicted. Basically Rocky Mountain winter weather. The cold like we have seen at the lake which is at the end of the South Park high altitude flats is rarely accurately predicted with temps in downtown Lake George at least 20 degrees warmer than the Mile. It was 30 degrees warmer in Divide this morning.

ICE THICKNESS: Ice generally looking to be 10” to 16” in most parts.

TROUT: FAIR TO GOOD: The catching was a mixed bagged for the contest with the biggest Trout being 5.49lbs. Any Trout over 5 pounds is a big fish in our book and there were a few in that range weighed in. Lots of fish in the 17 and 18 inch category. Lots of stockers in the North Shore area but they are spreading out. They do draw in big fish to say the least and it’s a numbers game. Catch a bunch of little ones and then pop the trophy. Lots of baits are working. Sierra Slammers have done well or any crappie type or larger tube jig. Nightcrawlers and spawn sacks fished off the bottom have also done well. Shallow water is not always best but a good bet. Plenty of big fish in deeper water right below the ice.

SPAWN SACKS: In general these are productive baits at Eleven Mile for big fish. We sell a variety of Trout eggs that can legally be used. Colorado CPW regulations prohibit the use of spawn from a Trout or Salmon caught in the wild anywhere in Colorado. Because we cannot prove without a genetic test that someone mixed wild caught eggs with store bought we have made the use of sacks in general prohibited in the contests this year. You can still use a single salmon egg on small snell hook but no sacks of any kind. We do sell Pautzke Trout eggs that can be used in a sack anytime legally but not if you are in the contest. We do sell a Pautzke Spawn Sac Tyer. You can tie your own, a good investment or we do have some pre tied in a cup of three.

KOKANEE SALMON:FAIR: Although the contest saw limited fish weighed in other days before and after the contest have seen some folk get it on. For those trekking to Deer Island you will find smaller fish. For those trekking to Duck Island you’ll find minimal if any fish. For those trekking North Shore from the Marina you will find a variety of sizes with bigger ones to be had. Swedish Pimple, Kastmasters, Thomas Bouyants tipped with a Flamingo Maggot, Meal or Wax worm. A little stink on the worm never hurts. Look to 15 to 40 feet. We all use jigging machines with your choice of pop gear. We like Green Rainbow.

NORTHERN PIKE: GOOD: You wouldn’t know it by the fish weighed in at the contest but action has been pretty steady and good. A fish that weighed 0.45oz won money. It looks like the bait of choice is waterdogs as numerous anglers have returned after buying one or two only to have them robbed by a Pike. Shallow water of 8 to 10 feet seems to be the preferred depth no matter where you go. Stop in for the latest info.

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.

The WEEKLY FISHING REPORT is produced by fishermen for fishermen. We try to get it done every Thursday but some times fishing or life gets in the way. So if its not there on Thursday morning it will show up by Friday. We appreciate all the support and acknowledge that many of you won't miss a week but every now and then we might.

WEBSITE WOAHS: Sorry but we have been off line a few days. Working on a new site but were not ready apparently and have had all kinds of tech issues. Looking forward to a new Square site that will have our entire inventory available online with an eye toward “curbside” pick up this Winter. Order you meal worms, Lazers and whatever and have them waiting for you so you can hit the ice. Not so sure all the glitches are fixed still working on things. Thanks for your support.

2025 EAGLE CLAW COLORADO CLASSIC ICE FISHING TOURNAMENT SERIES Have been getting lots of inquiries THANK YOU!! Dates are January 11, Feb 8, March 8 we should have sign up on line ready by mid November.

CURRENT CONDITIONS: Fantastic Fall weather continues and the bite is heating up as the water temp cools. Lake is open to boating until October 31. Water level down just a little and water clarity an issue on the West end lots of crud but not the East. Both ramps at North Shore open. Witchers Cove closed for the season. Weather forecasting colder temps but no real snow accumulation expected. We’ll see but colder weather and a little snow good for hunting and fishing. With Spinney closed and great weather the Park saw a one boat in one boat out policy in place for almost two hours on Saturday. That’s pretty unheard of for past Octobers.

SPINNEY CLOSED TO BOATING FOR SEASON

WATER TEMP: 55

LAKE OPEN TO CATCHING: 24/7/365

WATER FLOW: CFS 53.1 IN 93.7 CFS OUT

THE PARK IN OFF SEASON AND WINTER: Eleven Mile is a wonderful place to visit in the Fall and Winter. The Summer crowds become a memory and serenity sets in. The scenery and wildlife are most enjoyable and the fishing and catching are great. This October is starting off with spectacular weather and some pretty darn good catches.

Ice normally tends to arrive in coves and on the West end first. We generally don’t see much until mid to late November. It is rare to ice fish on Thanksgiving but it has happened. Look to early December if we are lucky. Last year saw Eleven Mile with pretty good ice compared to most places. We are getting our ice fishing offerings on the store floor.

KOKANEE SALMON: POOR: No good reports beyond fish moving up river.

NORTHERN PIKE: VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT: Lots of great fish being caught. Bite times vary but late morning through most of the day have seen moments of greatness. You might even get an early morning one. No need to run West they are biting all over the lake. We like Howbert, Witchers Cove and East Bay. Sticks, spoons, streamer flies and tube jig have all produced. You might want to give the Rapala X-Rap a try in the Clown pattern size 8, 10 or 12.

PIC # 1: A traditional father/son Eleven Mile October fishing trip for the last ten years.

We call this pic The Lancaster Lunkers!

PIC # 2: There has been a lot of lamenting anglers complaining that Spinney has been slow. Guess you should have been there on the closing day. The kind of fish they were catching.

PIC # 3: Meanwhile back at the Mile!!!

TROUT:GOOD: The bite has been picking up from boat and shore. Lots of great fish being landed. Mostly Cuttbows ranging 15 to 24 inches. As Fall sets in the bite can be anytime. Early and mid mornings have been good. There has also been a pretty strong afternoon bite. Lots of baits are working but colors and patterns vary sometimes daily. Trollers see activity on green rainbow cowbells, lead core with Tas Devils, downriggers with Rapalas and Macks or Kastmaster presentations. Drifting bait for those so inclined has seen some big ones on nightcrawlers/mallows and power baits. Shore anglers doing equally as well with Sunrise and Sunset the best.

KOKANEE SALMON: POOR: No good reports beyond fish moving up river.

NORTHERN PIKE:GOOD TO VERY GOOD: Strong bite continues and improves. Lots of medium size 28 to 31 inches. Bigger ones on the prowl and starting to attack. Big Sticks, and spoons doing well.

CURRENT CONDITIONS: Fall foliage is in high gear and colors abound. Looks like peak weekend. Park Visitor Center showers, bathrooms and laundry closed for the season. Witchers Cove boat ramp is closed for the season. North Shore boat ramps open half hour before sunrise to half hour after sunset. Most campsites are open. All electric sites open. Morning temps in the 30’s daytime 70’s and up. Weekend weather report looks great.

WATER TEMP: 57

LAKE OPEN TO CATCHING: 24/7/365

WATER FLOW: CFS 104 IN 103 CFS OUT

BOAT RENTAL: still available reservations highly recommended.

WATER CLARITY: It’s a mixed bag. The West end is pretty bad. Lots of crud in the water. But it seems to be concentrated there with the rest of the lake seeing better conditions.

RENTAL BOAT FOR SALE: We have one used 2014 16’ Lund Adventure Series boat and 15HP Yamaha motor available to purchase. Does not include trailer $1499.00 obo. These 16’ Lunds are great fishing boats for this lake. Call 719-748-0317 for additional info or appointment

FALL/WINTER SEASONS: As Fall officially begins on Sunday the 22nd and the countdown begins for ice fishing, anticipation grows for the next phase of catching here at Eleven Mile. We love Fall. The colors, the mild days, crisp nights, no crowds and the catching. As the water temp drops the fish move into better eat now before it gets cold mode. People talk about the lake “turning over” and indeed there is time when the water towards the surface gets cold and the water below is still fairly warm. Then it inverts and organic crud from the bottom rises to the top. Prior to that the catching is typically very good. That generally is now until the middle of October. Conditions vary of course based on what Mother Nature decides to do. If a trophy fish is on your bucket list, now is the time to put in some casts.

Ice normally tends to arrive in coves and on the West end first. We generally don’t see much until mid November. It is rare to ice fish on Thanksgiving but it has happened. Look to early December if we are lucky. We are already getting our ice fishing offerings on the store floor. Stop in for a pre ice fishing chat. We have our Ice Lazers and Tiny Tots on display now. Only available at the Marina since we make them ourselves.

PIC # 1: It’s one thing to catch a 37” 16.59lbs Northern Pike its quite another to catch it out of a canoe. It takes a team. Big Rapala lots of patience and skill.

PIC # 2: Many happy anglers scoring Pike like this.

PIC # 3: Deer on Goose Island

TROUT:FAIR TO GOOD: Its still hit and miss. A bad bite day followed by a stellar day. Mostly Cuttbows ranging from 16” to 23”. Trolling is also hit and miss. The trick is changing up. One day something is hot and the next day it is not. Same with tube jigs. One day white is hot and the next it gets skunked. Changing up can’t be stressed enough. And when all else fails break out the nightcrawlers or Power Bait/Fire Bait. Afternoon has seen surprising good luck. Wind is better for the bite than calm.

KOKANEE SALMON: POOR: No news is bad news. Try if you like always worth a shot but much effort little benefit.

NORTHERN PIKE: VERY GOOD: Strong bite continues. Lots of medium size 28 to 31 inches. Bigger ones on the prowl and starting to attack. Big Sticks, and spoons doing well. Work 6 to 18 feet Rocky Flats, Stoll Mountain, Howbert Point and Witchers Cove. Many areas around the lake are seeing great Pike action and you don’t need a boat.
