Took the new pontoon boats up to Mt. Elbert Forebay to try today. Was fun till the wind started up. Two other guys in float tubes and four shore anglers. No one was doing any good. Big chunks of ice in the water yet. Then went down to Twin Lakes after two hours at Forebay. I caught two 15" rainbows by powerplant. Its starting to open up good. Caught both on Rapala Long Cast floaters. Both hit hard. Was fun learning how to use pontoon boats with oars and electric trolling motor. Just like canoe or float tube though, no fun when the wind starts to howl.

Stopped at Clear Creek Res. on the way back. Was still all froze but the ice is starting to look funny. Very little open water by the inlet , dam, and boat ramp.
