never fished this lake in the winter, only a few times in the summer. Im from michigan and am trying to figure out how to fish these colorado lakes. i built a shanty and want to put it on twin lakes. where is the best place and whats the best lures or bait. I would also like to learn how to fish 11mile. any suggestions? I live in salida and have an auger and a portable shanty and a full size shanty. If any one would like to hook up with me that knows the fishery I would be willing to provide everything. everything here is so much diferent from michigan.

Hey 8-Pike, welcome to the site! Where abouts in Michigan are you from? I was born in Detroit, then moved to Ferndale. Been out here since 82. Still have lots of family there so we go back every year. My wifes' from East Lansing. Lots of great guys use this site, plus lots of excellent information. You'll enjoy it!

Use Red Wings for bait! Welcome to the site. Use tube jigs or large spoons tipped with a small piece of sucker meat for the Macs @ Twin Lakes. I very seldom fish Eleven Mile. Your welcome to join us at Williams Fork or Granby this winter for Macs. Also Williams Fork has some huge Pike.

I'm sure there are plenty of those "Wings" around, since they're not playing any hockey this year. If they catch fish as well as they beat up on the "Avs", it's the only bait you'll ever need! I've never been to Williams Fork, that could be fun!

The only legal live bait above 8000', is waterdogs. You can use dead suckers. I've iced 20lb plus pike out of Williams Fork, and Stage Coach is another great pike lake. Your welcome to come on any fishing trip that I go on this year. Good luck to you, and I hope to meet you on the ice,

Dan

well sanchez was my favorite lake in the state till it ran out of water. I was there this summer twice and caught maybe 10 pike and 1 Walleye. .The water is full of algae and is very low. Normally I could catch up to 50 pike a day and half a dozen walleye in the evening. I havent fished it in the winter for the past 2 years but used to get lots of jumbo perch. Has the water level improved since June? Havent been there since then. Anybody out there familiar with twin lakes or elevenmile? would realy appreciate some info. thanks 8pike

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
