im at Douglas right now. ive come to the conclusion that i dont like ice fishing in colorado. i caught a few gills and marked a couple other fish. but not really sure how these fish survive in these cereal bowls colorado calls lakes. there is zero contour, brush, structure, bottom hardness. you guys need to come to omaha, ill have you pullin fish out till you cant feel your arms lol

Finding good fishing for anythig besides trout is definitely pretty tricky in Colorado.  Luckily the fishing is so poor that people are more willing to help a guy out or give out information than say, New York.  We have no hotspots to protect out here ;D.. Go on the NY board and ask for help finding walleye on Oneida or perch on Lake George.  Half the people will attack you the others will ignore you.  Very friendly fisherman.  Guys fishing perch beds will straight up threaten you if you get within 75yards of their shanty  :o   but 50 perch limits and 5 walleye limits are a dime a dozen out that way.

If you learn to catch eyes in Colorado you can catch them anywhere. ;)

There's a story that Al Linder tried to do a show in Colo. for walleye and they never showed it cause they couldn't catch many-
