Williams Fork

[Dan DAN the fisherman]

Fished the Fork on Sunday. Had the great pleasure of fishing with Ice. He is a very kind Gentleman. He left around noon. We caught Macs,all about the same size, 22" or so.Tried for pike after Ice left,to no avail.I'll find them one of these days!

Hey Dan, I fished the fork Wed and Thurs mornings. I found your spot, thanks for the tracks. Was alittle of a walk, but well worth it. Caught lots of Lakers, but lost many,many more. (That's the topic of another post!) What's the biggest Mac you've heard of there? My largest was 21in. but catching lots 0f 18-19ers sure makes for a fun morning. Thanks again for the spot, and hope you and your family had a great X-mas.

I saw a guy catch a 39" last winter. Its just like Granby, you have to weed out the little ones and put in some hours, to catch a descent one. Have you tried Turqoise yet this year?

Dan

[John19]

Nope, Where's that?

[Dan DAN the fisherman]

Its over near Leadville.

[John19]

Is it a tough ride in? I think I'm going to hit 11-mile tommorrow.

[Dan DAN the fisherman]

Its not that tough to get there, but all the good structure is a mile from a parking area. So doing it on foot sucks.

[John19]

Yeah, that walk at Williams Fork gave me abit of a workout, but not to bad. It snowed about an inch when I was there thurs, which made that walk back alittle harder .

[Dan DAN the fisherman]

I will be heading up early Saturday morning.If anyone wants a ride, we could meet at the parking areas at I-70 @ the Morrison exit. I don't have room for another shack though. I'll be driving my red F-150 super crew with the Rokon on the back. I'll park @ the East boat ramp and go from there. Drop me an e-mail if you want to get together.

Picked up 22 today before 10:30. Fished the rest of the day for Pike with ZERO success.

I also had a good day at the Fork. I caught a really nice Rainbow and a ton of Laker's. (chartreuse color of choice)Dan, straight across the lake fron the east boat ramp is where I use to have good luck for pike.

As I was dragging my gear back to the east boat ramp, I stopped and talked to a guy in a fishtrap.But,he said fishing had been slow to that point. I saw Ice's truck and Dan's truck, but I had no idea where and who they were.

I never saw Ice's truck. I saw a Ford crew cab with a cab over camper and a Chevy with a camper, both were white. I was the guy riding around in the afternoon on a motorcycle, looking for Pike. Stopped and talked to a guy in a guide ,but it wasn't Ice. Met a couple guys from Sportsmans Warehouse in Aurora. One guys name was Tony. Mike was out there somewhere also.

I might go up next Friday and try to get to that spot across from the E. boat ramp.(pike)It use to be good from a boat.

[Dan DAN the fisherman]

Fished The Fork today. Same spot as always. Caught around 40 Macs. Couldn't fish 2 rods because the action was so fast. Tried for Pike again after noon with no success. Traffic really was terrible on the way back. Fished Granby on Friday and Saturday with only 5 fish each day. Nothing to enter in the contest. Just waiting for that phone call, tellig me that I won that Pickup or a snowmobile in the raffle!

We'll be crossing our fingers for you Dan! . So how was the Derby this year? We will probably be fishing this weekend at the Fork the 6th & 7th. How was the snow and slush on top of the ice?

John

Will be fishing Williams Fork on Sunday & Monday if anyone interested. Will be going to Dan's hot spot, then maybe try to find some pike.

Speaking of pike, has anyone heard of a pike being caught there this season?? I haven't but would like to change that .

Dan,

I'm glad we finnaly had a chance to meet. Hopefully we'll get a chance to fish together either this winter or this summer. I fished with three buddy's Sunday untill noon and only caught 4 macks all small. We fished near Elephant Island just off some submerged humps I marked with my GPS last year. I spoke to a couple of Rangers checking licences Sunday and they said no one they had talked to that day was doing any better. I did go to the drawing Sunday afternoon and didn't win any raffle prizes. Oh well there's always next year. I left a message for the Granby Chamber to get the web site so everyone who didn't attend the drawing Sunday can see who won and the weight of the winning fish. As soon as I hear back from them I'll let everyone know.

[Dan DAN the fisherman]

Going to the Fork on Saturday. John, how did you do last Sunday & Monday? Hope to see some of you there.

Dan,

I've been recovering from this Killer Flu that's going around. I really wanted to try and get up to the Fork and fish this weekend, but I just haven't fully recovered yet. I hope you do well. Let us know.

[Dan DAN the fisherman]

Chewy,

Hope you feel better soon. One of my best fishing partners is down with it also. Thanks for the good luck.
