The closet lakes that are good that I can think of that are somewhat by you are brush hollow, elevenmile, and spinney mountain. These are west of CO Springs. You can drive down south to Pueble Reservoir too for some good warm-water fishing. Brush Hollow is also warm-water fishing. Do a search on this forum for these lakes or just ask Epic. That guy knows everything that has to do with fishing!! Hope this helps a little.
