Wheres everyone goin? I missed last weekend so I need a fix-I’m goin to 11-mile to hammer some bo’s and maybe a few kokes.Hey Don-come on up and I’ll show you how to use a bobber- just KIDDING! Later…
I’m thinking about trying Sanchez or Turquois and maybe 11 mile, other than that I don’t know, this is the hard part.
Hi Slayerfish-
Thanks for the invitation. How did you do? I would have taken you up on it but I was at Flaming Gorge all last week. Action wasn’t fast and furious, but three of us managed macks of 12, 15, 18, 25, 26, 27, and 34 pounds. I would appreciate it if you could show me your bobber trick at 11 Mile. Still can’t figure out why we couldn’t catch a fish that day. I’ve never managed to do well at 11 Mile except through the ice. Go figger.
Boy don it sounds like you had some great fishing! Do you ever hit blue mesa for lake trout?
Fished 11-mile on saturday,it was a little slower than normal but I still managed 12 bos and a nice cutty.The bos are all clones from 15-17"s and the cutty was 19 1\2 and 4.5 lbs.The best method was the worm\bubble combo. Worm\bobber combo only caught like 3 fish.Same area as in earlier posts,but a little shallower,7ft.-13ft.I’m using the full moon as an excuse for the slow fishin.We fished from 7:30 till 3:30.The lake was pretty crowded,but not many in the inlet end.Some guy was showing off a Pike in the parking lot about 20lbs. Hey Don,I’d of druther been at flaming gorge tryin for those nice mac’s-later
Hi TroutFishingBear-
I’ve never hit Blue Mesa for macks, but I keep thinking I ought to. I’m just learning this jigging for macks. I know there are some enormous fish in Blue Mesa. Years ago I used to fish Granby for them, but kind of got out of the habit and now I’m hooked on the Gorge. There are soooo many big fish there.
I love blue mesa. Especially ice-fishing.
Generally, you want to stick to the west side if you go there. Look for water about 60 ft. deep. The lakers average 10-15 lbs. with some 30 lb. fish caught all the time. My personal biggest is like 17, I’ve only went there a few times.
Don, or anyone, where is 11-mile. I will be in Colorado next week thru the weekend. Looking fro different places to go, while I’m working that is. Al
Alan-
Eleven Mile and Spinney Mtn Res. are within a few miles of each other, less than an hour west of Colorado Springs, and just south of US Hwy 24.
Cool! I’ve got a customer in the Springs I asked if him and his son wanted to drown a worm next Sat. That will work perfect. Al
I will also be hitting there, plus Pueblo resevoir. I used to spend a lot of time in Colorado on business. But the business got big enough I had to hire someone else to make the runs and I have to spend most of my time at the whse. I do make it out once in a while (like next week) to go out and visit the customers. he he
