OCTOBER BOAT RENTAL: We will have some boats available but fewer and fewer as the month rolls on. Reservations can be made by calling us at 719-748-0317. Sat and Sundays available for at least the first two weekends. Weekdays depending on staff availability.

PIC # 1: Ira gets his biggest Pike ever at 18lbs. Pitched for three hours with one hit. Got this one on the last cast.

PIC # 2: A fair number of nice ones like these being landed.

TROUT: GOOD: Fall action just getting rolling. Lots of nice fish being caught, shore or boat. Many baits working well. Trollers scoring on Tas Devils, Needlefish, Mack’s Imperial, Arnie’s pop gear/crawler. Flies they like such as black Woolly Bugger, egg patterns and gold bead nymphs working well Shore anglers love the garlic. Scented products do work and not just bait. We like Pautzke Fire Gell especially on our tube jigs. But you can use it on most any lure or bait. It comes in a variety of scents ie Garlic, Crawfish, Anise, Trout and others. We won’t put it on a Marabou as it’s stickiness effects the bou lol. Scent products are illegal at Spinney but not Eleven Mile. Hmmm maybe they really do work to the anglers advantage. Gold Medal Waters are regulated to give the fish an advantage. Nothing wrong with that.

Stop in for the latest report.

KOKANEE SALMON: POOR: You might find some four year olds moving up to the river/ Snagging is no longer allowed at Eleven Mile.

NORTHERN PIKE: VERY GOOD: Action continues in sporadic but strong bites. Lots of anglers head West but there are many big fish all around the lake. West may be best for numbers East may be best for size. You won’t know unless you try. Spoons, sticks, spinner baits and jigs all seem to work at some point. The fish in pic was caught in the North Shore Marina area at sundown.

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.
