11 mile did, how ever the kokane in there developed a gill parasite and it killed damn near every one of them off. i couldent find anything in the news about it, but i thought something was wrong last year when we couldent catch any, and we usually slay the hell out of them. we went to the DOW biologist in pueblo and asked what had changed and he told the old man and i about it. spinney MIGHT have some, but i doubt that, i know for a fact Blue Mesa is absolutely loaded with them, as a matter of fact its the largest kokane salmon fishery in the nation. Eola Bay (spelling might be off) ALWAYS has large numbers of koks in it. care if you get close to the bridge though there are special regs above it. wedding rings, tipped with shopea (spelling) corn ran with planners killed them last time i was there, and when it warmed up we fished the canyon just past the marine jigging with buzz bombs and destroyed them there along the rock walls also. im not sure about any place else. for some reason the neon green tipped wedding ring, or the yellow tipped wedding ring always worked best. as for jigging, either blue and white or rainbow buzz bombs, just measure your depth on your rod, and use your fish finder and you will destroy them. i really havent fished any other lakes in CO for koks because of the success we had at the previous mentioned lakes.
