I didnt fish it but on the way home from Chatfield I had to drop of my friend Tom at his home in east Aurora...he lives out by Smokey Hill and 470...we took the Quincey exit and decided to take a quick look at 5:15 PM...we were very surprised at our findings...the reservoir is still about 80 percent ice covered...the marina cove has open water about 50 yards out along the boat ramp shore...it looks like there may be some open water in pockets along the south shore...the entire length of the dam has open water for about 200 yards out...now for the major shock...the reservoir is as full as I have seen it...the swim beach will be open for business this year...the water was about 2 feet below the walkway on the tower...it hasnt been like this in a long time...I doubt it will get any fuller...I cannot imagine them ever filling it up so the water is touching the base of the tower walkway...it will be interesting to see what it does to various shore fishing spots...I looked at the times for February it is open from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm and being ice covered the boat ramp IS NOT OPEN yet...
