Brockman Reservoir Number 2 Fishing in Delta County, Colorado

• Overview

  Brockman Reservoir Number 2 is a Delta County water, in Colorado. The country round it is rolling bush from end to end. Small at around 5 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Head to Paonia, 11 miles away, for anything you forgot. For a city, Boulder is 149 miles off. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Brockman Reservoir Number 2

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Open biodiversity records for Delta County list rainbow trout, white sucker and flannelmouth sucker. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On this water the first feature you find is usually worth a session.
