Fishing Adams and Bunker Reservoir Number 2 in Weld County, Colorado

• Overview

It is low-lying compared with other Colorado water we list. Nearest place of any size is Pine Bluffs, 27 miles away. Fox Farm-College lies 27 miles off, Ault another 27 miles. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Adams and Bunker Reservoir Number 2

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Records held for Weld County cover white sucker, common carp, green sunfish, longnose sucker and bluegill. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. On this water the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 72°F in July and bottoms out near 27°F in January. Mild ends to the year keep the season long. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. This water runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the carp, bait a margin spot and sit on it; corn and bread still work. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Adams and Bunker Reservoir Number 3 sits 0.3 miles off and takes the overflow. For this water, the notice at the access point is the final word.
