Gordon Lake Fishing Guide, Adams County, Colorado

• Overview

  Gordon Lake is set in Adams County, Colorado. The bank is 5,220 feet above sea level. Small at around 8 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Twin Lakes is the closest place, 0.9 miles off. Berkley follows at 1.2 miles, then Sherrelwood at 1.8 miles. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply. Most people fish the same few areas, which leaves the rest quiet.

• Where to Fish on Gordon Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Across Adams County, recorded fish include common carp, white sucker and bluegill. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. The near bank of Gordon Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 73°F, while January sits near 31°F. The season stretches long at both ends here. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. That shapes the year on Gordon Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. A parking area is marked roughly 120 yards out. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Copeland Lake, 1.3 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm access to Gordon Lake locally before you travel.
