dump!

Nothing at Skaguay. One guy on the entire lake that I talked to said he caught any trout, and little ones at that.

Their lips were sealed!

Beautiful warm day though!! Next time.

Douglas was hot from sunup till 8:00 for trout. South end of the reservoir for us. Got about 20 of them guys, but no walleye.

[SLAYERFISH]

Fished Lonetree Res. from 7-10 am on Thursday and 1 bite 1 fish-21",4lb wally.Then went to Lake Loveland and caught a 12" perch and 15" smally.No other bites! Fished Aurora res. on saturday from 8-3 and caught 1 13" bow on minnow-thats all.

Fished Chatfield Sunday. Caught 4 trout and missed a few more bites. Caught them in 11 - 13 feet of water off the swimbeach. Pink jig with minnow hooked through the tale about halfway down (5 - 6 ft.) seemed to be the trick.

Slayer, where and how did you catch that wally at Lonetree?

[SLAYERFISH]

Caught it on the bottom in 20'out towards the outlet gate.Used a small green swedish pimple&1/2 mealie.

Sorry it took so long to respond back...I was busy with my honey-do's, Great day at Green Mountain, fished 44 feet of water with a drop off just 20 feet away, of 64 feet. I think I was on a hump started at 0600 on the dot and the lakers were deffinetly actively feeding. I think for the first hour or so, the jig wouldn't even make it down all the way to the bottom, or if it did by the time I reeled in the slack there was a laker already on there. Now for the sizes, I caught approx 20-30 or so from 0600-1030 or so, all of them were standard size anywhere between 14" -18", except for 2 that went at least 26 plus inches. I had lakers on my screen all morning in 42 feet of water. I was using the standard gold airplane jig in 3/8 and 1/4 ounce with most on the 1/4 ounce size with a yum 4" white tube, and just a liitle pinch of sucker, now when I say little pinch I mean the sucker meat was no more than the size of your pinky nail, just that small with no skin just white meat. It seems the key to today was that you had to constantly jig ..if you dead sticked it; it would just sit there but as soon as there is movement "BAM". It was great to talk to some fisherman that were familar with this site and read it all the time. This is a really great site .....Well I took two pictures of the biggest lakers and released them to be caught next weekend, but you couldn't ask for a better day, no wind, bright sun, good company, and active fish. There were alot of people out there today but no major troubles at all. Hope to see you all there next weekend.
CC: Dave there will be about 4 of us fishing the tournament next week, you are welcome to come over and fish with all of us on that hump, if you want, since you now have what I have been cathing all those lakers on.

Had a couple of Hockey games this weekend, up in Cody Wy, therefore no fishing. Sounds like I didn't miss anything! Hey Slayer, where is Lonetree?

[SLAYERFISH]

Lonetree is between Berthoud and Loveland about 10miles west of I-25. Yes erico-SLAYER and all things metal.

Slayerfish,
How was the ice holding up at Aurora on Sat? It wasn't very thick on Thurs. and then 2 more days of warm weather. Just wondering if it will survive this week.

Thanks,
Lou

[SLAYERFISH]

Ice was 3 to 6" but mostly about 4". There were open holes and pressure ridges and the edges were gettin soft.Otherwise it felt pretty solid but you could tell it was starting to get scary.Could be real scary this weekend.

Slayerfish,

You listen to Slayer (the band)?

L7,

Got trapped into my typical conservative approach and went to 11 Mile Friday and Saturday. 2 fish, both under 17. GRRRR.

It's so hard for me to just up and go to a new rez, especially since I usually go alone, and I feel like I "know" 11 Mile. Got laid off in the fall, and was dreaming of spending my time (and severance) up at 11 Mile, and have been so dissapointed.

I might get up the guts to try Green Mountain (might...heehee), if someone can give me directions from I-25 at Monument. I am skipping out Thur and possibly Friday, and need to get over myself and try another place.

Thanks CO Ice Gang!

Directions to Green Mountain:

Take I-25 North to I-70, take I-70 west all the way to HWY 9 (silverthorne Exit) take right (North) all the way for 26 Miles, when you get to the town of Heeney, look to your left and there will be GreenMountain ...go to the entrance for the boat ramp and park down by the ice, (easy walking) and start probing for water around the 40-50 foot mark.

Hope this helps
