Well the first camping/fishing trip is in the books! Hit Trujillo's on Sat,fished for about 4 hours and tore it up!Those browns are starving up there! We pulled flatfish,rainbow colored and yellow with red dots. They hit the stuff so hard and so much that I had to replace trebles on each of the lures,one fish just broke the hook right off. Hard hits each time! By the looks of our lures you would of thought we were fishing for pike or walleye, teeth marks galore!We netted 12 on sat and 10 on mon, they averaged 17" the biggest being 19". We kept a couple for the campfire.
I ended up doing the camping thing more then fishing since I had my wife with me ,so we didn't get to the lake till about 11 each day. The action was fierce for the first two hours both days then tapered off about 2 or so.
The water is clear and cold due to the 4-5ft snow drifts still around and the river is just about back to normal.
Planned on camping at Trujillo's since friday but the campground at the lake was closed due to the snow drifts still in the area , so just went to Aspen Glade to set up camp.The host there said the campground at Trujillo's will be opening the weekend of the 10th.
The Conejos was still a little high but looked clear and very fishable.
