Thanks Ken I'll look around . I've only caught small kokes there and stocker bows. Just like everyone else i wanna catch somethin that will at least put a bend on the rod. ;D

You might try the south side of 10 mile creek inlet. I used to fish about 500-700 yards out and in about 4-9 feet of water. We could usually limit out by lunch on rainbows , Browns and Brokies.

anything with any size to em. There still has to be some monsters in there somewhere right?

I havent been up there in a about 4 years but we would usually leave with 16-18 inch fish.

Last year I caught a really nice Arctic char near the snake river inlet on a kastmaster. He was 19 inches and 3 and a half pounds almost a state record. I knew it was close to the state record when I caught it so I decided to keep him but to my dissapointment he fell shy of that mark. I had him mounted though. They really are beautiful fish. I' ll see if I can post a pic of it.

I didnt know they were even in there that would definatly be worth the trip! I goin to giver a try on sat.

Heres the Char I had mounted I could not find the pictures of it the day I caught it.

Jeff Mourning mounted it for me.

wow..nice fish! i didnt even know artic char were stocked in colorado..i would have guessed it as a brookie without knowing any better. i wouldnt complain about a 3 lb brookie, either

Arctic char where stocked in dillon to help with the over abundance of fresh water shrimp. But they really never took off. I think this is the only lake in colorado where you can find them. If you look close you can tell they are colored differently than a brook and they have a longer body.

That is a sweet fish! how deep was it? I always assumed that the Char hung out towards the dam in deep water. I caught a small one about 10" in the river about three years ago....I thought it was just an odd colored brook until another angler that was fishing close to me told me what it was. Have you fished Dillon lately?

Funny this post came up. Been thinking about ice fishing Dillon this winter, just talked about it this weekend. May have to give it a shot next weekend NoCatchum!

 

[Chief Nocatchum]

Fish w/ you no way! Just kiddin check your email, I am going to find that map I know I have it somewhere. Looks like the inlets are the hot tip. Any other info on this lake would be great I dont think we have ever ice fished Dillon.

I caught that char on an orange and gold kastmaster in about 15 fow at the snake inlet. I was fishing for kokes so may be he was ther eating their eggs? I have not been back since then but would like to give it another try let me know how you guys do.

The plan is this Sunday me and my daughter are going. I will let you know, and again Awesome Char. Thanks for the info.
