Giffon Number 2 Reservoir Fishing Guide, Weld County, Colorado

• Overview

  You will find Giffon Number 2 Reservoir in Weld County, Colorado. It sits at 5,509 feet above sea level. At roughly 12 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. Wellington is the closest town at 13 miles. The big place round here is Fort Collins, 22 miles distant. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Giffon Number 2 Reservoir

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Open biodiversity records for Weld County list white sucker, common carp, green sunfish, longnose sucker and bluegill. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Treat this water as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 70°F and January near 28°F. The calendar is generous: something works in nearly every month. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. At this water the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Carp respond to sweetcorn or boilies fished patiently on the bottom near feeding areas. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. For a change of water, Giffon Number 1 Reservoir is 0.7 miles distant. Check the current arrangement for this water.
