: Elkhead Reservoir - Fishing is a little slow, but with the warmer days ahead it should pick up nicely. The runoff has started but is minimal so the lake has not completely muddied yet. With the cloudy water and colder temperatures fish baits close to shore and alone structure. Some of the shallow coves are producing pike; haven't really heard of any bass or crappie yet. The lake is open to fishing and hand-launched boats. The main boat ramp will open Memorial Day weekend (May 25). Reported by: Colorado D.O.W |
