I was in colorado last weekend and checked out a couple of their musky lakes. The Aurora area attraction guide lists a couple of lakes and never a mention of musky as being in them. I went to one of the lakes and there was not even a size limit for the fish let alone a picture like they have of every other fish in the lake. Heck, the only musky anything I seen was a picture of a big dead one at galyan's on their fish board and they had very few musky lures and no musky rods. No wonder the colorado musky anglers goto nebraska.[:knockout:]

Interesting...Colorado has one of the best Tiger Musky fisheries around. Never heard much about "naturals" there. I believe that the C & R world record is from Colorado. Not a whole lot written specifically about Muskie fishing in Colorado that I have seen. Perhaps it's fairly new there? Here's some photos for you (scroll down to Colorado)of their state record fish:

Quincy resevoir is the lake near Aurora that has tigers in it. The lake has given up a 40lb tiger. The problem in COlorado is that many trout fishermen see Pike and Muskie as a major threat to their trout populations. There has been some major oposition. I have family in Colorado Springs and when i was there i heard from a bunch of guys about it while at a fly shop. They are fighting more of an uphill battle than "us" in the mid-west (Lake Miltona, etc) [:knockout:]
