Just shallower and very weedy, like Spinney. The vegetation grows like crazy during the warm months, thanks in part to the fertilizers and nutrients that wash in from the surrounding area. Makes great habitat for aquatic insects and forage and the animals that exist on them. It's exactly like Prairiegoat said, several DOW reports show that Antero stockers grow up to 2" per month. I never thought of the 'stocker trout' mentality before but it kind of makes sense. Baby Hueys out of the hatchery and into the feed tank.
11 Mile is deep, quickly getting over 30-40 feet on the west end and pushing 180-200' near the dam on the east end. Older and wiser fish I guess - but that's what makes 11 Mile so satisfying to me: the prospect of a skunk is there everyday.
