In the Heart of Colorado...We Have it All!

For the avid sportsman, world class fishing and hunting opportunities abound within minutes of Hartsel.

Sport Fishing

Whether you are a recreational fisherman or a serious angler, Hartsel is a haven for fishing enthusiasts! Imagine having three state reservoirs that all offer excellent boat and shore fishing opportunities a short 10 minute drive away, and the South Platte River running right through town with over 25 miles of public access for fly fishing.

The South Platte River has been designated by the Colorado Wildlife Commission as a Gold Medal Trout Stream. It is rich with Native Cutthroats, Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout.

Spinney Mountain Reservoir is a 2,500 surface area reservoir. It is one of the few reservoirs in Colorado to have the designation for Gold Medal fishing. Rainbows, Browns, Snake River Cutthroat and Northern Pike abound in Spinney Mountain Reservoir. Both Shore Fishing and Bellyboats are popular.

Elevenmile Reservoir is a 3,400 surface acre reservoir that contains Rainbows, Browns, Cutthroat, and Northern Pike as well as Small Mouth Bass, Carp, and the famous Kokanee Salmon. Boat fishing, shore fishing, and bellyboats are popular at Elevenmile. And for the diehard fisherman, ice fishing on Elevenmile in January & February is a must have experience.

11 Mile Sports offers rental of boats, rods & reels as well as complete outfitting and guide services. For more information, visit their web site: www.11milesports.com
