PIC # 1: This Gunker put up a fight and how. At 30” 10lbs this Cuttbow is the 2nd biggest Trout weighed in at the Marina this year!!

PIC # 2: This trophy caught on Monday deserves another pic. Headed to the taxidermist.

TROUT: FAIR TO GOOD: The hot bite in the beginning of the month has cooled a bit. Trolling and pitching still catching fish but some effort and numerous change ups to find the right color of the day or size of the lure may be required. Mid morning has been good. Gunker in above pic caught at 11:00AM. Tube and marabou jigs producing nice size Cuttbows. Trolling lead core or down rigger with Tas Devils or Needlefish successful in addition to green rainbow pop gear trailing a crawler. Most fish running just under 16” to 21” with frequent fish 22” to 24”. Shore anglers seeing decent action still at night and early morning and sundown.

KOKANEE SALMON: POOR:: Bite has evaporated for us.

NORTHERN PIKE: GOOD: More little fish are showing up but still seeing a good number in the 26” to 33” size. Stick baits, spoons and jigs have all done well. Don’t just look West as we have done well in Witchers Cove area and East Bay. Bite times vary with mid morning and mid to late afternoon pretty consistent. Wind is your catching friend if its not to strong.

SPECIAL NOTE: 11 Mile Marina is located at the North Shore in Eleven Mile State Park, Lake George Colorado. A CPW Park Pass is required on all vehicles entering the Park. Any fees for Guide/Outfitter/Rental services do not include Park fees, CO fishing license or gratuities.

The WEEKLY FISHING REPORT is produced by fishermen for fishermen. We try to get it done every Thursday but some times fishing or life gets in the way. So if its not there on Thursday morning it will show up by Friday. We appreciate all the support and acknowledge that many of you won't miss a week but every now and then we might.
