Brookies and or any other Small waters Close to Springs

Is there still good brookie fishing on the georgetown side? Heard that because of construction that a lot of the stream and beaver ponds got wrecked a year or two ago.

Bones- Hoosier pass is another area you can find brookies. I doubt it's any good right now for fishing because it sits above 11k. I'm snowshoeing / snowboarding in that area this weekend. I'll let you know what the streams look like.

Any fishing to be done at Silver Dollar Lake and/or Murray Lake? Been hiking up there a handful of times but never tried to fish.

 So..... I bought a Gazetter so I could stop bothering people for directions etc. That didn't work out so well, the bluelines coming off Pikes peak are as numerous as stretch marks on a pregnant stripper and like a stripper I don't know which ones are public and which ones are hands off. The map sheets shows Pike National Forest covering just about the whole area; however I have seen and the maps show little towns sprinkled throughout. Some of this stuff has to be on private land or you gotta cross private property to get to it, feeling more confused than ever.

 Received a tip at a fly shop for a lake off of Gold Camp Road, that supposedly holds good brookies. Don't wanna hot spot so PM me for info. Speaking of hot spotting. I believe I could post a report for Four Mile creek, or bear creek and no one would have a clue where in the heck I was. After looking at the maps; it is my belief that the settlers of Co. named every small stream below 11,000 feet either four mile, beaver, or bear creek , all over the state. I counted at least three seperate creeks on one map sheet that were named Four Mile Creek and no they were not connected in any way shape or form.

 Oh well looks like I got some exploring to do.


 Have a Good 'Urn,

I think the "Colorado Road&Recreation Atlas" is better then the Gazetteer... But its still hard to tell what is private and what is public, when in doubt I email the forest service.  There is also a map store over off Colorado Ave right before Old Colorado City, it has some pretty good maps.  Colorado has so much public land its just hard finding it close to Colorado Springs, lol.
