How's The Fishing In Colorado This Year?

[Bass_Akwards]

I live in Boulder and was just wondering how everyone else in Colorado and the front range in particular was doing this year?  I've been fishing since March 5th and have had days where I only caught 3 bass in 4 hours  That's happened twice. .  Most days I'd say I average about 10 bass in the 14-15 inch range. With a few that are 16, 17 or 18 inches.   I've caught 17 bass over 3 pounds so far since March and 6 over 4 pounds.  Heaviest was 4 pounds 11 ounces.. and 20 and 1/2 inches.  Zero in the 5 pound category.  I've posted many of the fish on "Catchbook" which is a great fishing APP everyone should get into.   The fattest fish I've caught so far in 2013 was an 18 inch 4 pound 4 ounce TOAD.  This fish was PACKED with eggs. On Friday I caught 23 bass in 4 hours with many being over 2 pounds.  One was 3 pounds 3 ounces  One was 3 pounds 10 ounces.  Next night I fished the same spots and only caught 8 fish, ZERO over 2 pounds 8 ounces.  What a difference 24 hours can make.  Water temps got a little cooler and a tiny front moved through.  

 

Anyway, Fishing has been amazing even in cold 48 degree water where I caught the 4 pound 8 ouncer.  I'm only fishing regular ponds on the front range.  No Arsenal, no Private water at some lucky persons home lake, just regular places.  Who else out there is catching tons of fish?  Anyone catching any size like over 5 pounds?  Anyone caught multiple 4 or 5  pound LMB anywhere besides the Arsenal or a friends private lake?  Talk to me Colorado!!!!

Im living up in Southeast Wyoming and am catching a lot of fish in the 15 inch range.  19 is my PB so far this summer.  I'm hoping to make a few trips down to steamboat to fish smallmouth in the Yampa.
