Pueblo eyes not active yet...

[dkooser]

Went to Pueblo Saturday afternoon. No eyes...yet. Smallmouth and spotted bass are active though. Silver and black Rapalas, Mark Sosoins stick baits (same color). Fish were active on wind blown main lake rock cliffs and back bays. Anyone found any eyes yet?

Went to Boyd Saturday. Caught a few white bass, but no walleyes.

Did go up to Antero yesterday and Neal caught the biggest rainbow trout I've ever seen! Had to be eight pounds!

Eric and I took a break from getting our *** kicked by the eye's and went trout fishing. We went to Antero and battled the wind all day. We found a bunch of big Rainbows trying to spawn on the boat ramp. We caught 5 fish between 4-8lbs. I finished the day with a big female that was 24 inches long with a 16 inch girth. We released them and about a half dozen smaller fish.

I caught my fish from shore with a fly-rod, but it looked like all the trollers were having a good day till they got blown off the lake. I saw a couple of big browns caught by trollers yesterday. Anybody who is tired of waiting for the water to warm enough for the walleye bite to get going should take their boat up there while the bite lasts.

Dave just wanted to thank you and ericco for helping me load my boat at john martin.was there any wippers active on the surfice. did you notice a lot of shad?

Jeff - no problem. The way the wind was blowing and considering how dangersous it could have been, I figured I'd just jump in (leterally) and help others load so they could stay dry. Plus, we did not get one of the cushier camping spots and I had not had a shower in a few days.

Wiper at Pueblo - no. Saw balls of shad in nothing shallower than 35 feet but nothing appeared to be hanging around them. Maybe next time I'll take some jigging spoons and either entice an eye or snag some shad.
