Colorado Bass Fishing

I was able to visit Denver again, 

although briefly, to move my daughter from one apt to another.  Was able to shore fish 2 mornings on some local ponds.  Sloans had a major fish kill due to low oxygen levels so I didn’t go there.  And my understanding if you are targeting largemouth, there are few there anyway. 
 

So I went to Lowell Ponds, Berkeley Lake and Rocky Mountain Lake. Neds, Senkos, jigs... not a sniff.  A fair amount of other fishermen all using live bait under bobbers.  I think in a total of about 10 hours, I saw one fish caught that looked about like an 8 inch largemouth.

Not sure if you like to catfish, but PM me next time to go to Lowell. I know the honey hole......

Is Colorado in winter and Minnesota in summer out of the question?

Not out of the question... I could probably do it job-wise.  How much quality bass fishing is there in the winter in Co?

I was thinking more about the "quality time" with family in Colorado during the Minnesota winter.  Any winter fishing in Colorado would be a bonus.

Or spend more time in the “shoulder” seasons in Colorado when the fishing is good there but the season is closed in Minnesota...

We may be renting a place this winter/spring sometime in CO. Half way thinking of driving my boat along with me if by the time we leave it’s not too snow packed on the roads. Spring might be better.  When is ice-off and good fishing in the spring - March, April??

I lived in Denver for 20 years. There are days in the 60's even in January. However, there is really

no true spring, just nice days in a long winter. March and April can be brutal, but the ice should be

gone. 

 

p.s. My best lake for bass, predominately smallmouth, was Pueblo Reservoir.

 I’ve been putting my yak out on Pueblo for the last couple weeks. The waters been in the upper 40’s. I’ve heard talk of some ice at the west end. I went up a ways and didn’t see any.

 I haven’t personally caught anything. Haven’t really seen anybody pull anything out.  I do see pictures on a social network group I joined. I know they’re there. 
 Next week promises a warmer day or two. If the suns out and the wind isn’t kicking up, it’s nice.
