[SLAYERFISH]

Fished 11-mile thanksgiving 8-12noon on 6"of ice! Only caught 2-15"bobo's.It was really slow,but ice is now!

[Guest]

Wow thats great news, I would have expected better action. But 11-Mile does fish differently than most lakes. Were there many people out there, anyone else catch some?

Let the fun begin! I'm heading up Saturday. Thanks for the scouting report Slayer.

Fished the mile today. It was slow but incredible weather. There's a good 6 inches on the lake. i saw one guy catch 15" Kokanee. Pretty slow but good day. It's ice season!

Man I was hoping to go up there tomarrow but with two slow reports, I think I'll wait a few days. They should be turning on soon.

Fished 11 Mile on Saturday 12/6. Started out great. Caught one 21.5" and a 21" within the first hour and a half. Really nice fat fish!!
Then only saw 4 other fish on the Vexilar. Fished till 4:00 p.m. It is a little slow right now. Larry @ the 11 Mile Marina feels the fish are deep right now, not used to the clear ice. The weather was a little too nice on Saturday, the ice is starting to get bad in a few spots. Had some open water appear @ Rocking Chair while I was out. Hopefully they get a good cold snap to firm the ice back up.
Think Cold!!

Hey troutslayer,where were you fishing? What depth?I plan on hitting 11-mile on sat 12-13 and I just got an Aqua-View so I cant wait!

[TROUT SLAYER]

SLAYER - I was fishing out from Rocking Chair between the shore and the Island. I was in about 18 ft of water, using a pink Ratso with a meal worm. I like to fish out of Howbarts Point, but the ice was not looking real good. Hopefully this cold weather will firm things up a little. I am going to try and head down again on Saturday. Good Luck!

We're thinking about hitting 11 mile on Sunday 12/14. If anybody gets a fresh report please post and give us a clue! thanks

From everything I've heard so far,,, The North side of the lake is pretty dead.... Last year at Rocky Flats and Stoll we pounded them!!! This year so far those places don't seem to be holding any fish. I talked to one guy earlier this week that caught a few in only about 2-3' of water on the West end. He might of been giving me a line, but you never know. Remember 2 years ago??? Cross Creek was ON FIRE!! Maybe those fish will start using that end again since it's up another 10'.. Tim

Hello: I am new to this site - great info. Eskimo made a great point about Cross Creek. Two years ago before the water went down, it was packed with fish. Sitting in the hut on 8' of water, we watched hundreds of nice trout and pike swim by. Even caught perch there. Going out this weekend for the first trip this year. Was planning Rocking Chair, but now the inlet is something to think about. If anyone knows the status on the west end, let us know. Thanks -

Hit 11mile today. I fished from 8 to 3 and ended up with 2 bows, a 15 and a 19" and two spawning kokanee. Took the kokanee home for dinner and I think I'll stick to the silvers because these didn't have any marks on them and they still weren't good. There were about 10 other guys on the ice in the morning at witchers cove and by noon there were 2 of us left. I didn't notice anyone else catching much, as most of them were moving around.

[SLAYERFISH]

Thanx for the word-I think we'll be there sat or sun it's got to pick up!

[Guest]

Gilles- thanks for the report- has the whole res capped over? is there snow? looking to go a bunch of times after xmas and new years for some pike too

[Guest]

Uncle Bryney, there is some snow which makes it convient and there is about 10 inches of ice on most of the lake except a small area around the middle island and the first cove.

Got to 11 Mile friday 26th from 9am-noon and saw four come in on sonar and had one bite, there were alot of anglers and alot of wind up there. Also counted four pockets of open water, so just an average 11 mile day

[TROUT SLAYER]

Fished 11 mile on Saturday and Sunday. Caught 1 Kok and 2 Bows on Saturday out from the North Shore in 50 ft of water. Moved to Rocking Chair on Sunday and caught 7 small Bows. Was doing pretty good, then it died off. Saw a fish on the Vex, looked down the hole, 30+ inch pike hanging out. No wonder the bite stopped.

Fished off Lazy Boy, down by the notch on the 30th. Open water from Goose to Lazy boy and got bigger as day went on. Caught 4 12"pike and one 3# bow between four people in four hours.
