First ice fishing is here in Colorado on Eleven Mile Reservoir! We've been waiting for some safe ice fishing in Colorado and it's finally here on some of our high mountain lakes. Eleven Mile Reservoir is capped with ice, however be ware for there is only safe ice on Crosscreek at 5 inches. Most of Eleven Mile has 2.5-3 inches of ice that is on the softer-side, So Be Careful! Watch your step out there on Crosscreek for there is a pressure ridge that goes from hard 5 inches of ice to soft 3 inches of ice on the other side of the pressure ridge. Use ice chisels with the buddy system to constantly check ice conditions and throughout the day. For early ice is always a sketchy time when the ice conditions can change rapidly throughout the day and from day to day.
Ice fishing Eleven Mile Reservoir has been fair for trout using small ice jigs in a variety of bright and natural colors tipped with your favorite ice bait wax worms, mealworms, shrimp, etc. The trout at Eleven Mile have been scattered and not very aggressive so smaller jigs and more subtle jigging presentations have worked best.
Be Safe on the Ice and Fish Hard!
