| Does anyone know of any lakes in Colorado that have muskies or pike. I might be moving there soon. Any help would be appreciated.

Location: Ogden, Ut | Quincy Reservoir, basically right in Denver used to be a great tiger fishery. I'm not sure of it's current status however. It seems that Colorado Division of Wildlife had a 'shift in priority' and now views Esocids in general as invasive nuisance species. It's a shame really as their tiger program literally rivaled any in the world for a while.

Location: oswego, il | I have been to quincy but not fished it. It's like being in the middle of a subdivision with about a 75 yard buffer to the houses. No trees, nothing and a small lake but has very big fish. If they stocked muskies seriously in colorado with the size they can attain there, lets just say there would be alot of tuffy dealers in colorado. The pike there rival alot of states muskies and their hybrids are even bigger. |

Location: Athens, Ohio | Muskies, Inc. has a very active Colorado Chapter. Check out their website and message board, or get in touch with Ken Karbon there.
Jim Smith, Muskies Magazine editor, used to live in Colorado and still knows some good spots, too. Mostly tiger (hybrids) out there, I think. m |
