At Mt. Elbert Forebay on July 4, fishing conditions remains fair. Fishing during the morning has been more productive than afternoon fishing. During the morning, ...more shore anglers who engaged in active fishing caught several trout on daredevils and panther martins. Bait anglers may want to consider employing either worms or pink PoweBait at the southern part of the reservoir. Anglers generally caught 10 to 14 inch rainbow trout with an occasional cutthroat trout and lake trout being landed. Evening water surface temperatures were in the high 50s.
