I've spent the last 15 years pretty focused on fly fishing, but with the Poudre River being in bad shape following the floods of 2021, I've decided to take on Horsetooth Reservoir this summer. I grew up spin fishing, but it's been quite a few years since i've thrown gear. With the res only 10 min from home, it's the closest water and it'll be a new challenge. So i went and bought a 6'6 medium action rod and went down to the N side and fished Eltuck Bay last Sat and Sun, and again today, and i have not hooked a fish yet. Not a single one! I've been bouncing bottom, jingin raps, hair jigs, swim baits, grubs, spinners, spoons, i even tried a floating rap, nothing. And i mean nothing! So looking for some intel. I've been looking at some topo maps of the lake this evening, def would help to have a boat, but there is lot of shore opportunity, just gotta figure em out.
