Colorado's Ice Fishing Season is Here!

11/26/2018

Colorado's ice fishing season started early this year on some of our high mountain lakes locking up with some solid ice, insulated with a cover of snow. Early ice fishing in Colorado is one of the funnest times to fish with lots of action and big fish potential too! When the mountain lakes lock up with safe ice, fish are on the move aggressively looking for feed along weed edges and shorelines. Ice fishing close to the bottom for less active fish can be effective or fishing just a few feet under the ice can really show results for aggressive fish.
Early ice conditions can change fast! So always play it safe checking the ice with a spud bar along with drilling holes as you hike out on the ice and throughout the day as it warms up.

Fall Northern Pike Fishing in Colorado

10/9/2018

Northern pike fishing in Colorado during the fall provides another great opportunity for quality fish. When the fall weather sets in and water temps drop, these changes signal a feeding surge for pike to pack the pounds on for winter. Northern pike are a cold water fish species so as the fall temperatures cool, the pike activity speeds up. Colorado Adrenaline Fishing guide Connor Foy has been chasing a good pike bite on Spinney Mt Reservoir this fall as shown in the pic above.

Boys Day Out!

10/4/2018

Robby Richardson with Sport Fish Colorado and I finally got a chance to get on the water and play. We spent the morning chasing shad schools looking for active wiper, then as the morning warmed up we switched over to jigging walleye. With our time running out, last cast of the day something crushes my lure and starts screaming drag!
The wonderful mystery of fishing, you'll never know what comes tugging on the line the next cast! Great fishing with you Robby, excited about the next fishing excursion!

Colorado Fishing Report

9/25/2018

Fishing across Colorado is starting to pick up with some cooler weather finally rolling in. Cool nights have started to drop water temps across the state which typically signals the fall meat bite is about to take off. Lake Pueblo fishing is starting to pick up as the shad schools are being thinned down fish appear to be taking lures and baits more readily. With so many shad schools in Lake Pueblo, the key seems to be finding shad schools with fish actively feeding on them. Spending time roaming the lake can pay off when you find arches slashing through shad schools on the graph. Some of these fish seem to be in a feeding frenzy hitting a variety of lures and baits once you find the right nature scene conditions.

Colorado's Summer Fishing Bite

8/4/2018

Colorado's summer fishing can be a grind but our South Park lakes are still fishing good! The big trout bite has been decent with the occasional pike being caught on Spinney along with Eleven Mile Reservoir producing good numbers of medium sized trout. The grass is thick so presentations can be difficult, a slight breeze to wind has definitely helped open some areas of the lake up for better action with less grass headaches.

Pike Fishing Colorado

6/14/2018

Pike fishing Colorado can be tricky, but the rewards are well worth the efforts! The pike bite remains pretty good still through June with big pike getting tougher to get into as water temps climb in July. Focus on established weedbeds close to deeper water and speed your presentations up as water temps increase.

Fishing Colorado

5/24/2018

Fishing in Colorado provides the opportunity for big trout on Spinney Mt Reservoir. Big trout roam Colorado lakes and many of these trout have learned to feed on fish to pack the pounds on. Bugs can be a stable feed for trout, but it takes a whole lot of bugs to equal the calories of one fish. So many of our big Colorado trout have learned not to pass up a hearty fish or crawdad meal. This season on Spinney there seems to be a whole lot of yellow perch in the system and some of the lake's big trout seem to be feeding on them. Stickbaits and swimbaits in natural and bright colors have been working well both trolling or casting.

Author

Fishing is not a hobby, it's my lifestyle. If I'm not on the water, I'm thinking about being on the water. Obviously obsessed, the fishing journey has carried me across the Rocky Mountains eventually across the states, where I encountered the term "FishHead" for the first time. "FishHead" - a person who is completely consumed by the thoughts of fishing; an incurable sickness caused by fishing that consumes a person during all awake hours and usually persists throughout the sleep cycle.

Thanks for Reading
and Fish Hard!
