Pute Loc: Colorado

Going there tomorrow. Good time of year to be there water temperature is dropping and the fish will be active. I'm going for trout my son-in-law is going for Pike. There have been several pipe caught in the last 10 days close to and over 40 inches. Average trout over 20.
Will get there about 2:00 in the afternoon and fish until dark. Then back on the lake at dawn. We'll fish until noon or the wind blows us off.

I’d like to hear how the trip goes. Thinking about heading over that way to target some big pike.

Ok, Done washing two days worth of fish slime off of me. Great trip. Fished my brains out. Main problem we had such a hot summer that the lake super heated and weeds are everywhere. Not everywhere....the deepest part of the lake is clean but the fish weren't home. They were all i the weed beds. Every cast caught a bunch of weeds.....no fish.....

Finally after a few hours of frustration I tried a floating Lazy Ike lure. It barely sinks when retrieving it so it stayed above the weed beds.....bingo. Caught several pike and to many trout to count. Only thing is we were going for big pike .....didn't happen....none over 30". Here is a picture of the fish of the trip.



23" Rainbow....as you can see her mouth is bleeding because I had trouble getting the hook out of her bony mouth. I revived her and turned her loose....to be caught another day.

The guys in the room next to us landed a 38" pike. So they are there and active. Water temp is down to 64. I know that is warm but was a lot warmer.....get ready for weeds.....
