Couple of hard-core fishing girls each get the job done with beast pike in Colorado! Patience and hard work pays off Big when chasing beast pike in Colorado. Both monstrous pike were caught and released back to back, with only one other small pike caught that fishing trip.

Lake Pueblo is still fishing good! Water temps have climbed with this recent hot weather trend putting Lake Pueblo fishing into gear. Wipers are showing up in the coves and points, along with bass starting to stage on the beds for spawn. Walleye are starting to scatter more around the lake and moving a lot! Soft-plastics, finesse live-bait, along with trolling is all working well.

Pike fishing Colorado on Eleven Mile and Spinney Mt Reservoir seems to be picking up as the water temps start to climb. Pike fishing Spinney Mt Reservoir seems to be getting better by the day as we see warmer water temps and more preferable weather conditions. Eleven Mile pike fishing is still slow as the lake tends to warm slower than Spinney Reservoir. Pike fishing in Colorado can be tricky, for one day the bite is on smaller lures and the next day they'll only touch ridiculously large lures. So to be consistent with staying on the pike bite be versatile in your lure selections and presentations. Changing lure sizes from small to big along with color changes from natural to reactionary strike colors, can be the difference between catching and the Skunk!

Eleven Mile Reservoir, fishing is good! The trout bite is hot on Eleven Mile with the occasional kokanee salmon. There are a bunch of small trout scattered along the lake, so you have to weed through a lot of fish to find the bigger trout. Good sized trout from 17 to 20 inches are pretty common, however spring fishing on Eleven Mile always has the potential to produce that big trout you've been looking for! Kokanee salmon fishing on Eleven Mile can be scarce, so when you find one stay in the area. Trolling varies depths has been working well using stickbaits or an attracter with wedding-ring or light spoon.
FishOn! FishHead Outdoors Big trout roam the waters of Eleven Mile and Spinney Mt Reservoirs, and spring can be one of your best odds in tangling with a true lunker trout! Many of our rainbows and cutbows are full of eggs right now cruising the lakes in preparation for the spawn. Please handle these fish with care and release them so they can continue nature's process. Other big rainbows and cutbows have either spawned or didn't develop eggs or sperm. Seems like the pre-spawn trout are sluggish and biting on slower presentations like jigs, soft-plastics, and fly fishing large crawfish and minnow patterns. Post-spawn fish and/or trout that didn't reproduce this season seem to be more aggressive searching for feed, so more aggressive fishing tactics seem to be working for these fish like trolling plugs, crankbaits, and spoons.

Colorado's ice fishing in the higher country is going strong, however the ice conditions on some of the mid-mountain lakes are becoming questionable. The warm weather this winter has effected the ice condition on many of our Colorado lakes creating soft ice. So ice that was hard a week ago may of gotten soft, be careful and check the density of the ice with an ice chisel and/or ice auger. Softer ice will drill faster and chip easier, meaning it's less dense therefore the ice's ability to carry a heavy load has been weakened. As the day progresses and warms the ice become softer, so checking ice conditions throughout the day is good idea along with check the ice continuously as you walk off. Often shorelines, shallow water, along with structure like rocks and weedbeds will warm faster so check these areas often.
For the ones that still find hard safe ice, the rewards can be great! FishOn! FishHead Outdoors |
AuthorFishing 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.
