Anyone have any success yet? I'm up in fort collins fishing small ponds from shore. I went out yesterday (4/10) for about an hour. Was at arapahoe bend ponds. Slowed played some plastics also tossed out a bobber and nightcrawler on an ultralight. Didn't even have a nibble. I did get my license checked by DOW official. Any updates would be awesome. Thanks.

We fished Ft Collins yesterday jigs, platics and Lipless cranks. 25 fish nothing over 3lbs.
I've had a bunch in the Boulder area -about 40 fish from 12" to 18" so far (3 trips). The usual suite: jerks, lipless, and jigs accounting for the majority.
Chewy,
As far as I know, many if not all of the ponds at Arapahoe Bend winterkilled several years ago. That doesn't mean that there's not fish in there or that they haven't been restocked but it may decrease your chances. I haven't been out yet this year as I have a toddler to take care of much of the time, but there are plenty of fish in Fort Collins, keep trying.
