I am very proud of the young man and his wife Ty and Amy Wood for the job they have undertaken in doing this. He told me that he wanted some trophy bass and it back like it was many years ago. The water levels should remain fairly constant as they are no longer pumping water out to cool the turbines at Lake Colorado City. I remember at one time when Champion was full I found one hole that was around 80 to 90 foot deep by the cliffs. My daughter and I used to scuba in the lake because the water was crystal clear. Hoping that the old seven wells will start flowing again, but they might never start back up as lots of farm and irrigation a few miles from the lake.

Thanks for getting all the good info out there. We have been back open right at a week now. Bassin Fever did an excellent job on the descriptions.

To add:

Day Use is $4.00 per person, over 65 and under 12 is free entry. Daily Boat Permit is $3.00.
Annual Vehicle Permit is $70.00 and covers the holder and four vehicle guest at no additional expense. Annual Boat Permit is $30.00.
Camping is $15.00 per night with water only sites until mid May when we will have water and electric hookups for $25.00
We also have nice 16X16 canvas bells tents set up with a full bed, chairs and coffee in the morning for $65.00 a night.

We will have live minnows and other bait on site in the next few weeks, as well as ice, etc.

The park is completely remodeled with a new dock, improved ramp, kid's fishing pond, and lots of other nice features.

Conditions have been choppy this week but lots of 3-5 lbs largemouths are being caught and we had a 7.5 pulled day before yesterday. Red power worms and jerk baits have been working well.

Gates automatically open at 6:00 a.m. and close at 10:00 p.m. We may try to adjust out the hours for earlier and later fishing as the summer progresses.

We're really proud of what has been accomplished in a few months. There is still a lot of work to do but the lake has come a million miles.

Also we will be looking for camp hosts this summer. If anyone is interested we'll have full hookups, utilities covered etc.. Just send me a message.

Ty it was good to meet you today. Appreciate all the work you have done to Champion. I look forward to fishing Champion on the regular moving forward. Fished this afternoon from 4 until about 730 and caught 10. Caught a four pounder on my second cast.
