WATER FLOW: 203 CFS IN 155 CFS OUT

WATER TEMP: 64

ELEVEN MILE STATE PARK IS IN THE SOUTH PARK NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA

TROUT: VERY GOOD: Action has been great all around the lake. Shore and boat. Boaters doing particularly well on the troll. Downriggers and lead core are racking up the numbers. Many different lures and bait are working. Power Bait and Pautzke Fire Baits and nightcrawlers from shore or drifting from boat. Needlefish continue a hot streak as well as Rapalas and Tas Devils but it seems that color and size makes more of a difference than anything and that can change daily. Flies are also producing with Tricos and Blue Wing Olives doing particularly well. Stop in for latest info.

SALMON: FAIR AT BEST: They are still turning up but if you can score two or three that’s a good day to say the least. Usually its been one here and one there. Straight out from the Marina just past the no wake buoys in 50 to 60 feet of water 30 feet down has seen the most consistent action

NORTHERN PIKE: GOOD: Last week saw a day where it seemed everyone was catching Pike all over the place. Those days are certainly the exception. One thing for sure it was not a calm day. Those days are certainly more difficult and there has been a fair amount of calm. Look to big sticks, spinner baits, spoon and tubes. Fire Tiger and white always a good color to try.

CALL TO ACTION ROAD REPORT CALL TO ACTION The 4th of July the 5th and 6th saw one of the most horrendous effects of bad planning on the part of Park County. With the road being freshly graded and dry conditions with out any kind of plan for dust mitigation the road from the 11 Mile Village, Eleven Mile Lake Sites, General Store and Park was a cloud of toxic dust for the whole weekend as hundreds of vehicles came and went. An avalanche of complaints appears to have sparked action as the road from here to at least the Black Tree Resort has been worked on again. This time it looks as though they did a much better job then before the holiday but dust mitigation on weekends should be done. It’s a Public Health Issue!

Not much has changed on the long term planning. Like none. This road needs to be paved. How do we get there? Will be meeting with the County Manager today to discuss a plan of attack that will be collaborative in nature. The complaints made by many of you were heard loud and clear. Action is what is needed and hopefully we are beginning that process.

CALL TO ACTION

NEXT: Dan Gibbs, Executive Director CO Department Of Natural Resources. Closest to the Governor that we can get. Lets let him know how we feel. CPW is directed by DNR ACT NOW THANK YOU

Two of the Premier State Parks that Colorado brags so much about, Eleven Mile and Spinney almost not accessible. The County says the State this The State says the County that. For decades the problem has existed. And the Feds are running a clear cut logging operation in the National Forest running heavy equipment up and down the road. Who pays for that damage. Why should the County? The CPW road money recently made a available to local County’s with roads through Parks is a joke and the County is broke not a joke. The available funds are minuscule compared to the problem. A collaborative effort is required. No more pointing fingers.

When you do complain its always best to be courteous. My grandfather always said “you catch more flies with honey than vinegar”. Some of the messages left with the County are inappropriate. We know you are angry but be respectful and professional when lodging your complaints

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.
