Comanche Reservoir, Colorado: Fishing Spots and Seasons

It lies lower than most water we list in Colorado. For a base, Pueblo sits 4.2 miles out. Pueblo sits 4.3 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Comanche Reservoir

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Across Pueblo County, recorded fish include rainbow trout, white sucker and bluegill. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Comanche Reservoir fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 31°F in January up to 77°F in July. The year gives four workable seasons without severe ends. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Plan any trip to Comanche Reservoir around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Mapping records boats as not allowed here, so plan to fish from the bank. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here.
