On Sunday I fished Aurora Reservoir for Walleye and Trout, and ended up with one Walleye and four Trout. The weather was nice, maybe a little too warm, but the wind couldn’t have been better for fishing.
I started fishing from my kayak at 4pm. I was using two rods. On one I had a Lucky Craft and on the other a jig and grub.
At 4:20pm I caught a 21in Trout on the jig and grub. At 5:30 I caught a 17in Walleye on a jig and grub. Between 6pm and 7pm fish were rising all around me so I replaced the jig and grub with a Panther Martin. I caught three small Trout on the Panther Martin. I was off the lake by 7:30pm.
Nice fish; especially that trout. We were on our boat at Chatfield for a few hours early Sunday afternoon........didn't get one bite. Plenty of fish on sonar, but nothing was biting.

Big Kuhuna, no I’m not fishing the Aurora Tournament. In mid May I’ll be fishing for Bass and Pike not waiting in line to get out on the lake.
Silicone Boy I have a water proof digital camera (Pentax Optio WP) mounted to the front of my kayak.
Cowboyfisherman, Chatfield was my first choice but due to time constraints, I ended up at Aurora Reservoir; and I’m glad I did. Chatfield has been slow the last two weekends.
Peacock Caddis, I’ve been fishing from a kayak for 11 years (mostly in the ocean in California), and have never tipped it in a lake. On the other hand, in the ocean I’ve had some nasty wipeouts in the surf. Once past the surf, I’ve never had a problem, even in three foot swells. Fishing from a kayak takes some getting use to, but once you get it, it’s easy. I have caught way more fish from my kayak, than from my boat.
Rad, how did you do out there? Any smallmouth or wipers?
It's strange to say my first big dispersed camping trip was recently. Definitely the latest in the year I've ever done my first camping trip in my life, but sort of matches the strange year we've all experienced.
We went DEEP into Grand Mesa, to two lakes that Sam and I have never fished. Remy...
I fished again last night. This time I stuck around a little later and fished as the sun was going down because I wasn’t in a rush. Once the sun went down behind the mountains the bite was on. It was trout after trout after trout. I lost count of how many I caught. Got a good mix of cutties and...
When you think of Colorado Fishing, it's very easy to associate Fly Fishing with those thoughts. This is a technique that has always been in the back of my mind and I find myself in situations at least once a month where I wish I knew how to fly fish...Well I'm finally learning it with my GF! No...
Always wanted to figure the crappie and once I actually set out to do it I found hundreds! Limited out for the first time after trying for the whole month of June. Wasn't too hard once i honed in on the area where I located them. Fast forward 4 days later and today they were gone. Here is my...
