With the Vail pass I figured I could get some good fishing in on the reservoir. Pretty hard body of water to get to without the pass so it doesn't get fished much at all. The times I have been in there with the pass there hasn't been another person around, nice to have a lake like that all to yourself.
The only thing biting was squawfish and lots of them. Seemed like almost every few casts they were hitting the lure. We used to troll this water in the 80's-early 90's and the fishing was really good. They need to get those fish out of there, it was fun enough catching them on light tackle and there were some pretty big ones, of course I did my part by not reintroducing them to the water. Could have made some pretty good coin with a bounty.
