Boyd Number 2 Reservoir Fishing Guide, Weld County, Colorado

• Overview

  Boyd Number 2 Reservoir sits within Weld County in Colorado. The land about it is open valley. About 8 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is low-lying compared with other Colorado water we list. 5.7 miles away sits Ault, the nearest town. It is 17 miles to Greeley, the nearest city. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Boyd Number 2 Reservoir

  We hold no depth figure for this one. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. County-wide records name white sucker, common carp, green sunfish and longnose sucker. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Read this water for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 28°F in January up to 72°F in July. Ice comes and goes from one year to the next. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Anyone fishing this water regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Carp respond to sweetcorn or boilies fished patiently on the bottom near feeding areas. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Antelope Reservoir at 0.6 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing here settles the position at this water for certain.
