Fished friday bymyself and sat with friend in his boat. On friday I fished 930 till230 and caught 4 wallys.3 were 16-17 and one was exactly 18inches.All caught on floating jig head w/minnows. On saturday we fished from 630 till 330.I caught 4 wallys all 16-17". Partner caught 2 wallys and 1 16" bobne wally was 19.5". Again,all caught on floating jig head w/minnows. In 7.5-12.5 ft deep by plum creek inlet.Jeez,its gettin crowded out there!

Hey slayer seen some guys doing well over in plum creek area with cranks, I have only caught a few in the marine channel. But man are you right about being crowded, i counted over 5 boats saturday

Excellent work Slayer. You no doubt are a master walleye hunter. I like to hit Chatfield because it is only minutes away, but man o man, it is a parking lot!

I meant 55 boats on saturday

 

[Zman]

I didnt think it was that crowded...wait till summer...

 

[Bronco]

Most of my life i have lived by chatfield and know how crazy it gets out there and the only time I will go to chatfield is night or during the week when its like that.. But even last saturday there where jet skiers out ( made me cold just watching them)

Parker Tom,

Same here. I'm reluctant to fish chatfield much. It's like a washing machine out there. I will fish it nights only, and maybe days a couple times a year.

I fish Chatfield frequently, it is the most convenient lake to me. Before memorial day and after labor day I fish Chatfield any day of the week. In the summer monthes I avoid Chatfield on weekends unless the weather is bad or I am out at night. Too many boats on the lake and I don't want to waste my time waiting in line.

On weekends, I will haul the boat and family to different waters. Such as Union, Jackson, 11 mile etc. I would rather spend the time I would spend waiting in line, driving.

Cherry Creek is just as bad as Chatfield.

I saw the guys water skiing and jet skiing on Sunday too. They must be crazy to get into water that cold. Have they never heard of hypothermia? I may go on the water when its cold, but I don't intentionally get into it.

In fact due to the crowded nature of chatfield lately,and its only going to get worse,I'm thinking of heading to Nee Gronde on sat.3-5.Should be no one but the fishes there!

 

[Bronco]

The thing about chatfield is it is a pretty darn good fisherie considering how much it gets pounded. Also the small mouths are alot of fun there, expecially having two little boys with me who need constant action. just have to hit it at nights and during the week.

Slayer, Last time I was at Nee Gronde (Feb. 19) there were about 15,000 snow geese there and about 20 hunters. You may want to check if fishing is allowed at Nee Gronde now. ??? Snow goose season is open till end of March and I think access to the lake is closed. A long drive for nothing unless you bring a goose gun.

 

[fishingkats]

yea we had are snow goose festival last weekend all kinda people show up and they have some big shindig to go look at the birds and talk about the birds i guess it was a big thing this year here in lamar co. but as far as i know the lake is open now for fishing

 

[slayerfish]

Yeah,got to thinking about that and called the DOW in lamar.they said nee gronde and nee noshe are closed till april 1st!I guess itll hafta be either john martin or chatfield!
