Can you expand on where in the lake to fish for catfish, or are they all over?

I only fish from shore and just cast 20-25 feet out. I don't think they have specific spot.

Thank you. You don't have to be near where a stream is coming into the lake/pond or anything like that though?

Night crawlers or plastic worms.

Never fished where a stream runs into a pond or lake. Shrimp gives off a strong scent. Catfish loves it!

I was jogging at crown hill park this morning, there were several bass splashing about and bunches of frogs around.

You should have good luck if you like to bass fish around the reeds with a frog setup.

Back in NY we pretty much fished for Bass only. We used rubber worms almost 100% of the time and they worked great.

I miss the old days of Bass fishing. I'd love to know of some good spots in CO. I'm basically a trout guy now since I'm in the hills 99% of the time.
