Where's the good Ice?

[lucky7]

I am from Colorado Springs and have NEVER ice fished in March. Where is the safe ice and where do you recommend?

If you want to go cold footn it in march you have to go high, 9500ft or higher. A light drive from the Springs I would recomend Jefferson, Teryall, or Grandby. If you want to come up to my neck of the woods, I fished Joe Wright in mid April last year. Ice fishing is far from over for me.

Granby would be my choice.

Twin Lakes, Clear Creek and Crystol, around Buena Vista will all have good ice for weeks.

Sledfreak, the last time I saw Tarryall it didn't have any water in it. (bone dry)

11-Mile has 22" to 15" all over-it generally lasts to end of march.

Tarryall was drained at least a couple of years ago and will stay empty. I believe that there are major problems with the dam and it would be too expensive to do the required repairs.

Sorry guys, the last time I fished Tarryall was about 4 years ago and we kicked some pike butt, I had no idea it was empty.
