CURRENT CONDITIONS: Fantastic Fall weather continues and the bite is heating up as the water temp cools. Lake is open to boating until October 31. Water level down just a little and water clarity has improved dramatically. Both ramps at North Shore open. Witchers Cove closed for the season.

SPINNEY CLOSED TO BOATING FOR SEASON: CPW closed the boat ramps at Spinney officially for the season 1/2 hour after sundown on Tuesday October 8 due to low water levels. Same thing happened last year and although more notice may have been nice they can’t predict how flows go and draw downs happen. Hand carry only through October 31. Plenty of shoreline calling your name.

THE PARK IN OFF SEASON AND WINTER: Eleven Mile is a wonderful place to visit in the Fall and Winter. The Summer crowds become a memory and serenity sets in. The scenery and wildlife are most enjoyable and the fishing and catching are great. This October is starting off with spectacular weather and some pretty darn good catches.

Ice normally tends to arrive in coves and on the West end first. We generally don’t see much until mid to late November. It is rare to ice fish on Thanksgiving but it has happened. Look to early December if we are lucky. Last year saw Eleven Mile with pretty good ice compared to most places. We are getting our ice fishing offerings on the store floor. Stop in for a pre ice fishing chat. We have our Ice Lazers and Tiny Tots on display now. Only available at the Marina since we make them ourselves.

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

PIC # 1: A traditional father/son Eleven Mile October fishing trip for the last ten years. They normally get a Lund for three full days but this year they decided it would be a good idea to get a Pontoon on the last day and take the ladies. It was a great move. We call this pic The Lancaster Lunkers!

PIC # 2: There has been a lot of lamenting anglers complaining that Spinney has been slow. Guess you should have been there on the closing day. The kind of fish they were catching.

PIC # 3: Meanwhile back at the Mile!!!

PIC # 4: Sundowner. Black Marabou jig.

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!!
TROUT:VERY GOOD: The bite is on and the next two weeks should be strong. Boat and shore showing what big fish catching is like. Bait, Lure, Fly its all on the table. Better grab your gear and make one last trip. How can you not when the prospect of catching a Lunker is very good with cooperative weather. Stop in for the latest info. Many baits are working.

KOKANEE SALMON: POOR: No good reports beyond fish moving up river.

NORTHERN PIKE:GOOD TO VERY GOOD: Strong bite continues and improves. Lots of medium size 28 to 31 inches. Bigger ones on the prowl and starting to attack. Big Sticks, and spoons doing well. Work 6 to 18 feet Rocky Flats, Stoll Mountain, Howbert Point and Witchers Cove. Many areas around the lake are seeing great Pike action and you don’t need a boat. Good numbers being caught from shore too. Lots of baits of different baits are working.
