MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
You boys don't seem to be cold averse.
The hole has bigger I think, the mile hates me.
Speaking as the gentleman whose record of skunks at the Mile will never be surpassed, you need to bring a certain mindset to that lake. There's a faint chance that you'll hook into the biggest trout you'll ever see and there's a somewhat better chance that you'll take a spanking and drive home emptyhanded. You just have to convince yourself that you were out for the fresh air and the beauty and that catching fish is just the gravy.For solid action you're better off at A-hole. Nice healthy trout, similar to what the Dr. and his mates were taking but alas, not what they were before the dam rebuild. But A-hole will have fishermen at 24" on center this weekend and if you're not in the mood for a frozen metropolis, go find a little spot at the Mile and breathe in the fresh air.

Yeah, I know that place. Home ice. CPW just dumped 25,000 of those Snake River Cutthroat in the 8-10" range in there so that trout fishery will stay strong for a few years. Play hell with the pike fishing after they move out of the north parking lot cove though.Doc, your pink tube jigs were a solid choice to open with. You boys don't seem to be cold averse. 4# mono? You'll regret that choice at some point.
Place is fishing wellThere’s been many years when one of those Cutbows are scarce As far as bigger troutski’s I would probably pick Anterhole but usually we will go to the mile just seems more peaceful
My days of sitting on a bucket in that freeking wind are OVER! And I dont miss them one bit!
Mile has bigger, but they are harder to find.
Antero seems to slow down quite a bit this year and the trout are much smaller than a few years ago. Our group made an annual trip out there this past Saturday and the fishing was way slowww. We caught a dozen fish between a dozen people from before sun rise to almost sunset. Fish were bout 16 to 18" long, not like a couple years back when they were 22-24" long. And another thing is we caught more browns than rainbows. On the positive sides, it was sunny, not much wind that day and we enjoyed some beer, brats, deer stew with friends on the ice.
I got skunked for 3 years at the mile
thats a really nice red bait puck at the 1 min mark solid day, its been a few years since i've driven out there because I generally have as much luck as Stinky. Might be time to see if my friend wants to take the RV up and camp the night before, its a brutal day from Denver.
Agreeing with Slayer on this one.Tom if you came with me and I showed you some things the place would love you more then you think and you’d love it back. Now of course what works for me may not work for you.
MrCro been fishing 11 mile for 35 years not to many places I haven't drilled a hole on that lake. I like 11 Mile always have , lake is fishing good right now. Few years ago it was tuff fishing . Back in the good old days before the internet made everyone aware of early ice we had the lake to ourselves 2-3 weeks. Pretty much every time our group which was for the most part me and Slayer would get a 6-9 lbs trout. I just don't think those days will be coming back . Cro Im always open to learn new things but something tells me it would be the other way around who shows who what when it comes to South Park Slimers lol. Hope to see you on the ice this year exchange some info and lies with you. Heck if you like beer and 420 I bet I could talk Slayer into letting you tag along.
Bring a case of ‘Stones!
Entire state sucks I hafta walk 5 miles to catch a 9" perch anymore.
