• Where to Fish on Home Supply Reservoir

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Fish documented in Larimer County include black-spotted cutthroat trout, brook trout and white sucker. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. The shape of Home Supply Reservoir rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 28°F to 72°F. Some winters cap it and some do not. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Home Supply Reservoir runs to its own calendar within the local pattern. Falling water concentrates fish into the deeper parts.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Failing this one, try Welch Reservoir, 1.4 miles away.
