I am just wondering what some of the regulars who fish Aurora a lot think on the following subject...the division of wildlife conducts spawn taking for walleyes at Pueble, Chatfield, Bonny, Cherry Creek? because they arent successful on their own...it doesnt work here for many factors with the primary being fluctuating water levels...for many years I have tried to figure out where the walleyes spawn at Aurora with no luck...there really is any rip rap or running water so it remains puzzling to me because I know they try...even if it isnt successful...I know lots of times at dusk at Chatfield you can hear them in the shallows along the dam...I have yet to see this anywhere at Aurora when the water temp is in the mid 40s...anyone have any thoughts on this?...

There are a few good sized rockpiles back in Senac Cove that I'm pretty sure they will spawn on. Another likely spot is the rocky area by the spillway, when it's underwater as it is now.

What does the term riprap mean? I have heard it used before and i am not familiar with it?

 

[Bronco]

Rocky areas or rocky banks

cool, makes much more sense now.
Thanks

Thanks Don...I figured maybe the rocky area by the spillway as it gets quite a bit of wave action in the spring if the wind is from the south or east...I wasnt aware of the rock piles in Senac...need to get my boat back there more and just spend a day probing...

I have always wondered about the point off the divers beach also? It seems to have some rock and rubble also.

Wheres the divers beach at aurora? east of the dam? Iv'e never seen any divers so i'm clueless.
