Was that reservoir you were reading about called "Nee Noshe". The Colorado state record is out of there...just under 24#. That would be a good spot for you X-man. They also have a lot of willing tiger muskies there.
I lived in Denver for awhile in the mid eighties, a few years after Colorado started aggressively planting wipers in their "flatland" reservoirs, over in the eastern side of the state. It was a long ride across miles and miles of wheat fields, but some trips were really worth it.
By the way, wipers are caught regularly through the ice on several reservoirs in Colorado. They don't quit biting in the winter, but they can't be caught unless someone fishes for them. Hint, Hint. Only problem is, that thick ice really messes up the prop on your fancy boat. Nudge nudge.
Just for the record, it's really tough finding an ice auger that will drill a big enough hole for my float tube too.
