I just drove by Prospect Lake on my way to Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs and it sure has a nice looking lid on it. Did the city restock it after it was repaired? If so, do you know what species are in there?

Thanks!

oh ya its been stocked 2 times. Cought 3 fish out of the 2 times. But I have seen a 27 incher come out of there....and there are plenty more. LMK if you go Icing there because i wanna know if its worth it. There are TONS of trout in there.

Roger that! My wife eats lunch there several times a week. She has seen lots of stockers come out of there since they stocked it (before ice). It may be a good place to cure your twitching arm when you can't make it out of town! Surely they don't have any regs against being on the ice out there, do they?

I drive by it everyday the ice can be more then 2 inches thick, it melts and has open water 1 day then a lid the next then open water the next, and so on.
I want to say I read some where that you couldnt Ice fish it, but I cant find it anywhere. Maybe check the signs at the park.

Thanks guys. I have to go back to the hospital this afternoon so maybe I'll pull over and inspect it a little closer. ePic, thanks for the thin ice warning and open water report.

It'd be nice to get some good ice over there and set up after workone night for a few hours just to test the night fishing for trout theories.

I drove by it this morning on the way home, there was no open water today.

I know there is no icefishing on prospect because we looked in to it before and i dont think they changed any rules.they are very strict about the rules there and i even had the police helicopter shine its spot light on me and a friend 1 night fishing for cats.it was only 1130 and a cop came over and chased us out. i think it closes at 9 or 10 at night.i have seen people drill holes off the docks at pikeview though and catch fish. but have never tried ...... hope it helps
