Lon Hagler is a great little lake that has some nice muskies, used to have some great crappie fishing, some catfish, and thanks to the benevolence of Colorado Game and Fish, some slimy trout. I don't know why they wanted to wreck an otherwise good warm water fishery but they stock the daylights out of it with stupid trout. I was there about two weeks ago and the water was already up to 45 to 46 so I would expect that things are warming up nicely. You can get an annual pass from anybody that sells licenses for only $5.00 or you can pay $3.00 per day.
Union has pretty much the same mix of fish and is owned by Longmont, with the addition of some wiper.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I'm going nuts wanting to get out. Gotta get the ole pontoon boat cleaned up this next week and try it out. From Minn originaly and love fishing Eyes, Muskies, and Northern, lotta folks don't care for the Skies and Snakes but I love fishin em. Fished Hagler about 12 yrs ago and got a few small Skies, threw em back, went to Lone Tree and got skunked there. My buddie got a 9# Eye at Boyd last fall and I Iced fished it only 1 time this late winter, like I said gotta get the ole toon boat cleaned up and try Pueblo and Boyd and see what happens. Let ya know maybe sometime next week.
