Giffon Number 1 Reservoir Fishing Guide, Weld County, Colorado

• Overview

  Within Weld County, Colorado, you have Giffon Number 1 Reservoir. Mixed woodland runs right down to the water. About 4 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Weld County. Wellington lies 13 miles from the water. Ault follows at 18 miles, then South Greeley at 18 miles. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Giffon Number 1 Reservoir

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Across Weld County, recorded fish include white sucker, common carp, green sunfish, longnose sucker and bluegill. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Read this water before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 71°F, with January the cold end at about 28°F. Spring and autumn are the strongest, but nothing is truly closed. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. This water runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Carp respond to sweetcorn or boilies fished patiently on the bottom near feeding areas. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Giffon Number 2 Reservoir at 0.7 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the current arrangement for this water.
