I have been trying to collect GPS coordinates for Chatfield Res and would like to collect them for other lakes in Colorado.
If you have coordinates for fishing hot spots, structure and other GPS information, lets post it here for all to benefit. it would be great to have coordinates listed when you find a great place on a lake, then instead of everyone wandering around trying to find the area by matching shoreline landmarks and guessing with our fish-finders we can zoom in on recently productive areas and hopefully increase the numbers of fish caught!
Enter the information in a format similar to this:
1. Body of Water
2. Coordinates
3. Type of Structure
4. Type of Fish
5. When to fish (time of year, time of day etc.)
6. Bait or Lure used.
7. Any other information you would like to give
I'll start, I'll only list a one since I need to get back on the water and verify some of the coordinates in my GPS, but I am sure of these.
1. Chatfield
2. 39 32.821N, 105 04.284W
3. Submerged Bridge and Roadway
4. Walleye, Bass and Trout
5. Trout year round, walleye in summer and fall, bass in summer and fall. Rumors of big cats under the bridge.
6. Minnows, crawlers, trolled and still fished, shad raps trolled at a low speed along the edges and above the road way.
7. Structure goes from a flat surface under about 9 feet of water (summer of 2004 levels, approximately 5430 ft above sea level) to a sharp dropoff with water depth of 20-25 feet. Most fish I caught are along the dropoff, though I catch quite a few bass above the bridge and road.
Thanks I hope we can develope a big data base of coordinates.
