Colorado Ice Fishing Season Opener 2024/25 - Grayling + Bonus Fish!

[@PicklesBBQandCooking]

Holy cow hardcore! My skinny bones don’t do well in the cold, I’d have to be dangling a line over the hot tub on the ice. The greenback was impressive though! Cheers brother! Oh and happy thanksgiving! 🦃

That’s how you start the season

I’ve never pulled an MA out of there, but I’ve been close.

@@Horus3Kome same, and it's on my list for sure!

What’d the grayling hit?

[@FishinTimeCO]

Caught most on a small chartreuse dinner bell spoon. Small jigs worked too, but no bait allowed so only plastics on the jigs. Good luck!

[@slayinglures]

I live right next to Joe right reservoir and never catch any. What bait do you use?

[@LoveLandingFish]

Flies and lures only. No bait. Micro Ice jigs, small bucktail flies, and micro spoons do the trick.

[@FishinTimeCO]

Yea they were hitting pretty much anything that day, but the micro dinner bell spoon was probably the winner for the day. I even caught em in a pink jig head with nothing on it. You could also try the plastic mealworms, (I did) but I had better luck with nothing but a jig head.
