Interesting little lake in Walsenburg. Only 100 acres but plenty of diversified structure. I found rock, laydowns, flats, humps, and what appeared to be milfoil. And for only 100 acrese a lot of variety of fish. SM, LM, Sauger, Tiger Muskies, Cats, and more.

Saturday's fishing was tough with the wind, but TL won with 5 that weighed 12 pounds. I was a distant second with four that weighed 7.9. All of mine (1LM & 3SM) were caught with a Giggy Jighead and a Zoom Finesse Worm (Green Pumpkin) and all four fish were caught in a different part of the lake.

Sunday's tournament was miserable. The wind blew 20MPH+ the whole day. Unfortunately I couldn't produce with the Giggy as it was tough to feel the bottom and the mushy bite. My one keeper (a 1.8 LM) came on a spinnerbait at 5:30am and the end of a log. That little fellow was good enough for 3rd place and enough winnings to buy a Happy Meal. Congrats to MA for winning with 5 keepers that pushed the scales just past 9 pounds. I know what he caught them on and where, but if I told it would be ugly.

Good fishing.
