Where are all the Walleyes?

[John19]

Other than Quickrelease catching some at Chatfield the other day, I haven't heard of many eyes being caught this season. What's up? Is everyone slaying them, but just being tight lipped about it! (I doubt it).
Boyd,Sterling,Creek,Pueblo,Stanley,Chatfield, all are fishing pretty slow. Hopefully when they turn on, it should be slaming. Two more days and my fishing season truely begins!!

Oh to have the schedule of a teacher again! However, I believe I am a slave to the salary forever more! John, let me know if you head down south sometime ...maybe we can hook up and hit the water together. Enjoy a well earned summer!!

John - I wonder if it's not a matter of the warm cold warm cold formula the weather has taken on. The water temp is pretty close to where it was a month ago. I sure saw a ton of boats at Chatfield last Sunday. I'm going out again on Saturday. I'll let you know how we do. Anyone ever pulled an all nighter at Chatfield? I wonder with all the boats buzzing the lake all day if the fish are smart enough to wait till nightfall...

Thanks Eric, that's a pretty good site! Do you know where Lonetree is? I think it's between Longmont & Loveland, if it's the one I'm thinking of. I'm not sure.

yeah lucky, I'm pretty fortunate! The summers are probably the main reason I've stayed in teaching this long. I wouldn't mind going down to Pueblo some time. I really don't know the lake, I've only been there once.

Fished Boyd on Sunday, caught 2-18" Walleyes had a couple more bites. Also several Trout and 1 White Bass. The Walleyes hit on crawler harnesses. Lonetree is right outside of Berthoud, nice little lake.

John, my friend and I hit Chatfield today, and between the two of use we caught close to 30-40 eyes.(one smallmouth)Many guy's on the lake stopped fishing way to early. I must add that we didn't catch one that was legal.

Sounds like things might be picking up. I'll report from Standley this weekend.

Fished Chatfield 5-20. Real slow. Caught 2-walleyes on bottom bouncers in 16-20 ft.near catfish flats. Also got 2-smallies. Water temp. 60 at surface. You'd think that they'd be hitting by now.

Fished Boyd Saturday morning, 5-9. In between rain showers, we caught 4 trout, 2 white bass (1 18inches) a smallmouth, and 2 walleyes! one was a dink, the other 16.5in. Finally, a keeper!!!!!! All fish were caught trolling bottom bouncers. Gold tomahawk spinner took all the bigger fish. at least the bad weather kept all the water skiiers away.

Fished Lonetree last night, what a nice little lake! Fished from 6 till 11. Started by trolling crawlers, darn near went all around the lake till we had a hit.(little sucker bit me off!) so we stopped and jigged. Got 6 eyes, 3 were keepers, although nothing over 16inches. Its not much, but at least we're finnaly getting some eyes! Man, it was alittle difficult getting off that lake in the dark. Those boat ramps are dinky, and way to go by putting them right in between the trees. I wouldn't think a light would be to much to ask for. But the lake was great, I can't believe how many fish we marked on the electronics! We'll be fishing this one alot more I'm sure!

I didn't make it to Grandby today but did get to Chatfield. Surprising small crowd because of the weather I guess. We caught over 20 eyes, 2 keepers. May hit it again tomorrow.
