[SLAYERFISH]

Being a glutton for punishment,I'm gonna try Cherry Creek again.For one thing,I know the perch and crappies are in there,also its very close,thereby maximizing my time on the ice.

Sorry guys.... But today the boss gave us the afternoon off!! It's supposed to be 54 degrees today - warmest day for the next week. I'm picking up my flyrod and heading to elevenmile canyon for some winter flyfishing this afternoon. Tim

Hope you had a great day Eskimo but I'm a hardwater guy. Let us know how you did. SW I'm taking my daughter to San Isabel. I'll let you know how we did.

Did pretty well! It was just gorgeous up in the canyon. My normal fishing hole was occupied, went to the back up hole - taken... A Lot of fisherman. Went downstream to a hole right next to the road. Pounded them all afternoon on a size 22 Black Beauty and a tan RS2. Landed around 12 -15 fish from 12" to 18"... Lot's of fun on the 3 weight rod... Oh well!!! Time to get back out on the ice!! Tim

I'll tell you what, I have been rally surprised at the quality of fishing at Boyd....good solid ice and a plethera of fishing oppertunities, ie, rainbows, yellow perch, crappie, both basses, and walleyes if you can find them. You can offload your equipment right at the ice edge, and park your vehicle at the parking lot, I had a lot of success with Good healthy rainbows in the 3-4 pound class, with waxies and 1 1/2" pink tubes in 16 feet of water. It is close to where I live and seems to be better fishing and the traffic is a lot better than the high country. but of course no Macks.

Hope this helps

Good Fishing

behmer, I could not agree more about boyd. I fished Boyd today and had good success.
Thanks to the tip about those pink jigs from someone on this board. The guy next to me wasn't having the best of luck, so when I left I gave him a jig, and within 5 min. he had a fish. So it was a good day of fishing all the way around. If I could only find those eyes?

Behmer, Are you getting any perch out there? I haven't found any at either Boyd or Loveland this year!

[behmer]

I haven't seen a perch all year, been trying to fing those walleyes though and have yet to locate any, I think that they must be staying really deep until well after dark then coming shallow to feed, just can't seem to be there when they go shallow.

John or behmer, do you guys know of anyone that has fished the south end of Boyd for walleyes?

[Sw icer]

I'm in southern Colorado don't know where Boyd is it sounds worth a try.On a recent trip recall a sign near Greeley exit saying Boyd,am I close?Would appreciate directions from I-25.-------- THANKS SW icer

[John19]

I can't believe it, no perch! To get to Boyd, all ya have to do is follow the signs. Get off of I-25 @ highway 34, west towards loveland. You'll take a right just past the albertson's (I forgot the name of the street). Take this about 2 1/2 miles then you'll turn right. (once again, follow the signs!) about a mile and your in the park. It's easy to find! I need to start drowning some minnows a few nights here, see if we can't locate some eyes, I know they're in there,just gotta find them. It's fun catching trout, but I prefer white meat!

[milehighfishing]

I'm thinking about heading up there for the first time this weekend. Is there a fee to get in? any bait shops around?

thanks!

[John19]

It's a State park, so 5 bucks or an annual park pass. There's a sportsmans warehouse at the Loveland outlet mall (next to Target. For minnows, Bennets in Berthoud.

Does anybody know how long it would take me to get to Boyd from Colorado Springs.

[lucky7]

I drove there last weekend. It is less than 2 hours. I can't remember the mileage but it is right off I-25.

[behmer]

As for bait all you really need is waxies, mealies, and I had some fairly good luck dead sticking two fire balls on a tear drop about 1 foot off the bottom.

Meal worms have worked better than minnows for me this year at Boyd, But like the minnows just in case an "eye" happens bye.

[milehighfishing]

If you don't mind.... what area(s) on Boyd should I concentrate on for trout? Thanks for you help, I just found this HSOforum and its been a BIG help!!

[SLAYERFISH]

I'm gonna go to Aurora this sat.Spent 8 hours at Cherry Creek last sat. and not a bite.I'm gonna get some perch if it kills me!

[behmer]

I park at the boat ramp, and start walking away from the inlet approx 500 yards in 16 feet of water and that was it. You will see alot of people in the inlet but i personally never fished there, I like the idea of being away from everyone
