If anyone in the Springs is looking for someone to B.S. with while fishing, let me know. I'm pretty useless for anything other than just being someone to go with you, but I thought it would be worth a shot. I absolutely love fishing, but I suck at it, and my boys are grown enough that they don't want to "hang out with dad" anymore.

I'll be fishing around Colorado Springs Tuesday if your interested.

 

[Wannabefishing]

Definitely. I really appreciate it. Where will you be fishing and what time?

 

[BigFishAz]

To be honest I'm not entirely sure where to fish. I'm flying in from phoenix Monday night. Been doing some research on where to go but it's hard to say without eyes on the water. Where's a good place?

 

[Wannabefishing]

Hard to say. A cold front is coming through late Monday or early Tuesday. Quail Lake should be decent.

 

[dallasdb]

You can hit ice or open water. What are you looking for?

 

[BigFishAz]

Open water. I own a lot of gear but there's no ice fishing in AZ.

 

[BigFishAz]

I think I'm going to take your advice and start at quail lake. I'm just hoping not everything is frozen over. Thanks again for the help.

 

[DoctorDooom]

No don't do that. I was kidding. Go to pueblo. Lots of open water. I mean yes quail has most of the fish you mentioned. But it isn't that fun to fish

the water temp at pueblo was 47 yesterday, go to the west end. turn right before you enter the park, you wont need a park pass. walleye and bass will be your target

Pueblo is much better than Quail Lake unless you are determined to catch snot rocket slimers. But, it doesn't always fish easy but at least if you get the skunk you can try the river for nice sized slimers.

 

[BigFishAz]

Is quail lake like some urban lake where you take the kids?

 

[DoctorDooom]

Yeah

 

[BigFishAz]

Small question. What is a slimer?

 

[DoctorDooom]

Rainbow trout. They're very slimey
