I don't know of many spots too close to colorado springs, but some you can drive to fairly easily. I suggest the following lakes for trophy pike opportunities: Harvey Gap Reservoir ( home to some of my 10+ pounders), and Elevenmile reservoir. For numbers mixed with size I suggest spinny mountain, and rio blanco for extreme numbers of small ones. The yampa river also has some huge pike, home to my 12 lber while floating this year. (on a 1/8 oz. blue and silver bill lewis rattle trap) There would be more, but the us fish and wildlife and division of wildlife are horribly biased about pike, and are killing them. Release all pike you catch! Try to stop the Usfish and wildlife terrorists!
