Not much of a report-went Friday and threw everything in the tackle bag-lots of skirted jigs, some swimbaits, a few cranks and nothing. Got maybe 2 bites but no hookups. Water is clear lower lake, water temp was 35-37. In about 4-6 weeks the walleye should start to turn on.

Lake is still very low-heard 41 ft low. Hopefully its gonna start catching some water.

Anyway, got top run the boat up and down the lake which I do at least once a month during winter.

mid jan till the end of feb is the hardest time to catch fish on pueblo, but it can be done

Byron is 41 feet exceptionally low compared to previous years?...

Isn't it normal for the water level to fluctuate there?

Yes, but the lake is low and its gonna take some real spring runoff to get it back up to near full. Then they start pulling water out mid-March. Fished Pueblo for 35 yrs now and its always gone in wet and dry cycles-some years its near full and I've seen it lower than it is now.

It was a tough day out there Byron-I don't spoon anymore because it just got to be boring for me but that's probably the
best way to get at them right now. Marked a lot of suspended fish, mostly right below those shad balls, very few fish on the bottom.

Interesting. I have always used 4893.8 as the ideal height. Got that from here http://www.usbr.gov/gp-bin/arcweb_puer.pl

I wonder what "active" means.

I might have to regenerate my Pueblo maps using 4882 instead of 4893.8.

i think that is the top of the spillway hight
