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. When we get to 48-54 degrees you will see a big difference.

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: 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: NO REPORT

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.

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.
