We have been working with FHNB for over 20 years assisting in fundraising efforts. They use to host their annual event here at Eleven Mile taking disabled kids fishing. The event outgrew the capacity here and was moved to Pueblo State Park. FHNB is a Colorado Springs based 501C3 organization founded by Dan and Cheryl Saldano. They will be here Sundays to answer questions and sign up volunteers for this years event to be held on September 26 and 27th at the South Shore Marina. Looking forward to seeing you at the Boil!

TROUT:FAIR TO GOOD: A few anglers experiencing frustration but we are doing well. Trolling or jigging have been productive. Needlefish and Tas Devils on the troll, tubes and marabou’s on the jig. Bite times vary and later has been better than expected. Weeds aren’t as bad in the early morning for trolling on the West side. When they become a problem head East. Shore anglers doing well at sundown and nighttime.

STOCKING TRUCKS ARRIVE: Given Antero and many lakes are off line the fish they planned on stocking have to go some where and here they come. Normally stocking is done through the ice but 30,000 Cuttbows are headed this way. Since the lake will be getting more pressure this is a good thing. Have caught some stockers around the lake saw two trucks at Witchers Cove the other day.

KOKANEE SALMON:POOR TO FAIR: It’s been a challenge of late. But fish still being caught on the troll in areas of deeper water along the channel. Weeds are not a problem in that regard. No one single bait can be relied on. Be prepared to change up. Macks Wedding rings still doing well as well as pink and white Needlefish and #55 Tas Devil. Pop gear and dodgers get hot once in a while but cannot be relied on.

NORTHERN PIKE: GOOD TO VERY GOOD: Lots of great action continues all around the lake. We like points East. Less crowd bigger fish. West end active along the weed beds. Corral Cove, Coyote Ridge and North Shore areas good. Howbert Point to Goose Island also good. Fire Tiger patterns in almost any bait draws their attention. Big sticks like Rapala Husky Jerks and others working well. Spoons like the traditional gold Kastmaster can also produce. Spinner Baits should also be in the rotation. Even catching them on the tubes. You lose a few in the process.
