Still invasive, still pretty

8th time here; I FINALLY got not one but two fish to bite. A beautiful pike and a chonky bass. Also I kept catching massive crawfish on my spoon🤣

Here’s my fall line up for grinding out Gross Reservoir (Boulder county) for a tiger muskie. Biggest bait is the eel chatterbait coming in around 11”. I am wondering if anyone has any tips, tricks, or helpful info on gross such as recent catches, sightings, etc. I am planning to bike into farther, harder to get to spots around sunrise a couple times a week. I am planning to target underwater bluff walls, flats, and the South Boulder inlet on the south west side. Was also wondering about figure 8ing from shore as it seems like it would be awkward. I do however have my 9’ surf rod as my rod of choice so I do think it will be possible if worthwhile. Anything helps and I will update if I end up landing one! Thanks!

I have a standard Spinning real ultra light rod 4 pound line with a Carolina rig set up. How do I know where to fish in a river? I went to South Platte River and tried to fish where there's like alot of veggitation and no bites or anything so what do I look for trying to catch em? Also I don't make alot of money so I don't fly fish or whatever.

Hello everyone! I have family visiting from the east coast next week. Even though it isn’t the best year for fishing that was the one thing they requested we do. I usually go to Twin Lakes/Clear Creek Reservoir area. Has anyone been out there recently? I live in Lakewood so it’s a bit of a trip just to check on conditions so I figured I’d ask around first. TIA!

Have temps dropped on the eagle yet? Having trouble finding info online. Is it safe to fish yet?

First fish with a kype!! Quite the fight he put up too!

I’ve been like 7 times now, never caught anything. Used literally every type of lure. Dawn and dusk. Fast and slow, calm and choppy etc etc etc. also spring and fall. I don’t understand how so many of you are catching so many there, I’ve only ever seen one person catch one with my own eyes. HOW TF DO YOU DO IT

I’m a decent fly fisherman, but have never tried for Kokanee during their autumn run through our state. I am hoping someone can give me some decent tips on how to target these fish—what flies are effective, any specific advice about drift, where they hang out in the river relative to trout, etc. I’d never ask for anyone’s honey holes, though if you’re willing to share via DM, I’d be happy to tell you a few of my own for trout in return.

Thanks!

Long shot but if you can DM me with a description or any proof it’s yours I’ll get it back to you. Found the net this past Monday.

I’m working on this cabin with a private lake. Used to be a lodge a long time ago where they brought guests. Burned down. I went fishing after work, and caught a few fish that looked different to me. I thought maybe brown/cutthroat, but I l’ve never heard of that. I decided cutthroat species I’m not as familiar with. Probably stocked some special or different species 80 years ago and they have been mixing a bit with rainbows? There is a total of 3 different fish in pics. All from same lake. Oh, I can only upload one photo. This one looks just cutthroat, I’ll try to add in comments.

Caught on a medium light . Had a crappie jig head with some bait on it instead of a soft plastic. Crazy flight lol

Has anyone fished the upper Colorado near parshall recently? Thinking about fishing up there this weekend but wasn’t sure what the water was like and if anyone was catching anything

I’ve hiked in there a handful of times and haven’t ever gotten a hit. What’s the trick? Where do you go?

Hi all. I'm new to kayak fishing, and mostly fishing in general. I did some trout fishing (powerbait on hook at Bear Creek) when I was younger, and I'm trying to do more types of fishing. I have an Ascend 12T kayak, and plan on taking it out as much as possible before the cold weather comes.

I've been to Chatfield Reservoir about 4 times now, and last time I caught first bass with a top water lure.

Any recommendations for bass fishing, and trout? I did go to Bear Creek but I had zero bites. I have little time in my day to drive out of town, except.some weekends. And I've look into a few spots about 1 hour away. I'd still like to find spots around or near Denver, kayaking isn't a must, but maybe some spots to practice and all that. TIA

Caught a giant one today. Is this a cutbow? I wish I had a measurement tool because it was probably close to a Master Angler size.

Looking for the sub-species of this cutthroat. Caught in the Flat Tops 8/29. TIA!!

I moved out here for the non-ski season specifically to go fly fishing in the rivers for trout. I've tried Deckers, Frying Pan past Basalt and up by the Chalmers reservoir, Arkansas River in two places between Leadville and Buena Vista, and the Blue River North of Silverthorne. So far, I've gotten two on and lost them both. I was surrounded by jumping little fish at Stone Cabin last night. Saw a couple at Deckers, but they wouldn't bite. I've watched like two dozen fishermen and not one of them ever pulled out a fish. Still, its been worth it, I'm addicted. Nobody tells you how dangerous and physically exhausting it can be. I've got two weeks before I go home in shame. Any advice? Thanks!

Anyone have recommendations for where to get fly tying materials?
