Wellington Lake is open for ice fishing.
We are open 7am to 6pm 7 days/week
285 to Bailey
turn left @ Bailey Propane (co rd 68)
11 miles staying to the right.
Wish I would have gotten that response yesterday when I was turned away and told the ice was to dangerous and to come back in January. I was pretty upset about that, since it was my original destination with my kids. Well, maybe I'll get over the sour grapes and go back there anyway, it is a cool place even though I don't like having to pay for it.
I think the only way I ice that Wellington this year is if there is a meetup or as a plan B or even a plan C if Kenosha is lcosed if I try to go to Tarryall, Antero or Elevenmile via Kenosha.

Hey all, is Wellington kinda like a Georgetown? Good place to go catch a bunch but prob wont catch a lunker? Just curious what the fishing is usually like up there.

Actually, yeah. I am. I have seen more than a handful of large trout come out of Georgetown.... do a search on the forum on georgetown. I personally have helped one person land a trout that was pushing 13-14 pounds that he caught on fly and bubble... and I have caught a few browns that were about 18 to 20 inches during their spawning run.
most of the big fish in that lake are too smart for the powerbait dunkers, so you got to use secondary things like panther martins, flies and other lures. : ;D
I caught 3 over 17 inches in a matter of a few minutes just last week. Yes, there are plenty of small fish there but I would have to disagree about no lunkers.
I hear ya Dave. Thats actually my fave after work Friday spot in the summer. Bust out the pontoon or the belly boat. I've had several 25 - 30 trout days there in just a matter of hours. There are plenty of big trout in there, just gotta know where to find em at - and a belly boat affords you that opportunity.
I take my mom there every other weekend if the wind's not blowing.
only complaint is that I wish they had more brookies.
