Fishing conditions at Mt. Elbert Forebay have been very good. A majority of the anglers reported catching multiple fish with very few anglers not landing any fish ...more at all. Shore anglers employing bait may want to consider using worms, pink PowerBait and magnum floating power eggs. Trout were consistently taking these baits at both the northern and southern parts of the reservoir. Shore anglers engaging in active fishing reported trout taking Panther Martins and Kastmasters at the southern part of the reservoir. Anglers caught mostly cutthroat trout and rainbow trout between 8 and 12 inches. Midday water surface temperatures were in the low 50s.
