Please read carefully when you sign up for all three, it is just one entry per team of two. elevenmile@hotmail.com with any questions or problems signing up. You can also sign up in the Marina store and save the fee charged by Peek Travel our backend reservation/contest system if you wish. Last year all three events sold out in the first week of January. We have always been at a 150 team limit and are able to increase to 160 this year. You do not have to be in all three. But if you choose to be in just one or two as many have done in the past it would be wise to sign up sooner rather than later. You must be in all three to qualify for the Final Grand Prize and Toyota Tacoma.

CURRENT CONDITIONS: It was -11 this morning. Ice forming on West end but lots of water still. Lake is ready to freeze and had substantial ice last Saturday but wind blew it all away. Won’t be long any day maybe any minute stay tuned. Regular updates to be posted. Some new snow Tuesday on top of what was left from that week of Winter. Roads are clear and dry. Parking lots plowed clear and dry. Some campground areas are closed for the season. Most fishing access areas open. Early ice calls for EXTREME caution. Not a good plan to go alone on very early ice.

PARK OPEN 24/7/365

WATER TEMP: brrrrr

WATER FLOW: 109 CFS IN 130 CFS OUT

ELEVEN MILE STATE PARK IS IN THE SOUTH PARK NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA

SUPPORT THE REPORT: Shout out to MATTHEW RALSTON for his recent “support the report” contribution. We are not aware of any other weekly fishing report on any other body of water in Colorado. Why? takes quite a bit of effort. If you like and appreciate the report no better time than the holidays to say thanks for the effort. We have been thinking of going subscription but prefer to keep it free for now with your help along the way. You can also support the report by patronizing our wonderful lakeside store as many of you have done. THANK YOU11 And now the NEW ONLINE STORE. One thing is for sure running a small business has gotten more challenging the last few years. BTW on your next visit with any purchase $5.00 or more mention you love the report and get a free Krystal Lazer or Tiny Tot ice jig as a thank you.

MARINA STORE AND LAKE SPECIALISTS: Camping, Fishing Equipment, Flies, Lures, Bait, Clothing, Food, Snacks, Drinks, Ice Cream and official purveyors of Boars Head brand products. Stop in and find out how we can help you catch. Get a topo map. They say information is gold. It's also critical to catching fish on the ice. The maps have GPS coordinates on them so you just can't miss. We want you to be successful here at the Mile. Get a map we will MARK IT UP with the hot spots. WE ARE HERE FISHING EVERYDAY AND CAN PUT YOU ON THE FISH. Spinney Maps are officially unavailable and no longer in production. You can probably find them other places but we are out. Plenty of Eleven Mile in stock get yours with all the hot spots marked up today. Information is gold for catching

PIC # 1: Shoreline catching was good for many this Fall. Larry lands this great Brown at sundown soon after the week of Winter a couple weeks ago. Black Marabou 1/4oz. Caught and released.

PIC # 2: Nice Cuttbow at sundown just a day before the Brown above. Black Marabou 1/4oz again. Caught and released.

PIC # 3: EXCLUSIVE: GULP ALIVE FLAMINGO. We use Gulp Maggots in pink, natural or chartreuse a lot on the ice in place of a meal or wax worm particularly for Salmon. This new Gulp Alive product is available in Colorado exclusively only through 11 Mile Marina. These pink maggots are in the “Alive” juice and are garlic scented. Can’t wait to try them we know they will be hot! You won’t find them at Scheels, Bass Pro, Cabela’s, Sportsmen’s Warehouse, Walmart. For real! You might find them online but probably only at our NEW ONLINE STORE.

PIC # 4: EXCLUSIVE: Power Bait scents/colors Strawberry Limeade and Pink Flamingo both garlic scented are also currently exclusively available only at 11 Mile Marina. We had these exclusive products this Summer and sold out because they were very productive. Just received Strawberry Limeade in stock. Waiting on Pink Flamingo. Also available at our NEW ONLINE STORE. Many anglers use Power Bait through the ice. In fact a couple of teams in last years contest caught big money fish on Power Bait.

PIC # 5: Sundown on what is very soon to be the last open water.

PIC # 6: Thanksgiving morning looking down on the lake

SEND US YOUR PICS: Thank you for sending pics of your success here. Sometimes they end up in junk file and we lose them, sometimes they are in a format that is not supported by website backend. If you don’t get a thank you acknowledgement email that means we didn’t get it. Try again THANKS!! Send in those ice pics. If we use it stop in for a free Krystal Lazer ice jig.
