Rifle Gap

[TEW-FISHES]

Rifle is getting good, fished it a couple times. 3-4 inches of ice and fishing in about 40 feet. Saw a nice pike on the ice. No rumors of any wallys coming up. What other lakes have you guys been fishing here on the western slope?

[brown-time]

I have fished Blue Mesa twice now through the ice.  First time 5 of us caught 40 between 13"-19".  About three fourths bows and a quarter browns with a few 20" lakers thrown in.

Fished it today in a different area downlake and four of us caught 20 browns from 10"-17".  Kinda slow day, bite was good from 2 till 3, which is usually the slowest time of day, go figure.  Got home tonite and saw a report from a guy in the same area who fished 50 FOW yesterday and iced 7 macs on a white tube, sucker meat from 20"-28".
