Turquoise Lake (Leadville)

[dkooser]

Spent a few hours fishing Turquoise over two days and the fishing is actually pretty good. Caught lake trout from the shore using yellow and red Panther Martins. I have caught lakers in Horsetooth many years ago but always released them. At Turquoise, we kept two and had them for breakfast (along with coffee and pancakes) and I have to say, lake trout meat is way better than rainbow.


Also spent some time fishing a very small pond on the Swan River beside Tiger Run RV park and caught alot of nice brown trout on a silver and purple Penn minnow.

Next weekend, off to Glendo.
