Shore Spots around Denver?

[Aquaman01]

Hi!
I'm in Minnesota, but I lived in Denver for 5 years and still have a very good friend there. He has become interested in fishing with his family, and needs some spots - any help would be good. I gave him a few trout pointers, but my trout experience is from Vermont. I spent most of my 5 years there in school at C.I.A., working, and spending lots of my hard-earned money in Capitol Hill bars.

He does not have a boat, and finds stock-ponds embarassing. He's not species-specific. Thanks -

Howdy Aquaman, Tell your friend to go to 11mile.Its about 2hrs. from Denver.I go there all the time.For lures try a .375oz silver kastmaster,I have good luck with them.
also try fly&bubble set-up on a spinning rod.
olive and black wollybuggers work very will for me. If you want to catch nice good eating fish you have to drive aways. also check out the colorado fishing&hunting news for alot of good tips.

If they are after trout all they need is a orange and sliver kastmaster. You can't keep trout off that baby. REALLY. Fly and bobber can be a good combo for trout too especially from shore. Orange Power Bait is a go to as well for trout. Since you didn't say where your buddy lives, I'll just suggest some close places to fish. Quincy (my home lake) gives them a chance at bass and some bait sized trout. But its lures only at Quincy. From shore try the boat dock or walk to the back bay (east bay) and try the cove on the south side or the back back bay. Chatfield and Cherry Creek can be good for trout and other species but there is usually too many people for me. At night on Cherry Creek you can catch some channel cats on the **** from shore try cut bait. Barbour Ponds north of Denver is easy fishing too. If 11-mile is too far for them, try The Catamounts in the Springs. There they can get a chance at mackinaw and big trout. Well I hope this helps..........I could go on & on............

Thanks a lot! My friend has started catching a variety of species in Cherry Creek and some small lakes/ponds near the foothills in the 'burbs. Thanks again!
