Cody,
Catching fish at Chatfield is not the problem, its rare that I go out and don't catch at least a few. But larger fish are rare. I don't know if I believe all the strories I hear about people having 40-50 fish day on walleye. The best I have ever done is 12 or so. I would believe it on smallies though. I have caught a few keeper size walleye and bass there over the last couple of years. The bass I released for another day and the walleye unless they were skinny I kept.
I usually don't target trout but on occasion I do. Spring and fall I think they are pretty easy to catch. Harder in the hotter monthes. But it looks like you have them figured out! A person goes through fewer small trout than other species since they are stocked at catchable size. The ones that make it through the first few months grow nicely and are great to catch. I have caught numerous 18 and larger trout.
Enough rambling for one post. I don't think I came close to answering your question.
