Hummel Reservoir, Colorado: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  In Colorado, Hummel Reservoir falls inside Weld County. It stands 5,010 feet above sea level. It measures about 32 acres, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. It is low-lying compared with other Colorado water we list. The closest town, Berthoud, is 3 miles away. For a city, Greeley is 18 miles off. The line between counties passes nearby, which can change who manages the water.

• Where to Fish on Hummel Reservoir

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Weld County records list white sucker, common carp, green sunfish and longnose sucker among the fish reported. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Hummel Reservoir fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 71°F, with January the cold end at about 27°F. Fishing continues through most of the calendar, with quiet spells rather than closures. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Expect Hummel Reservoir to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. For the carp, bait a margin spot and sit on it; corn and bread still work. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Newell Lake at 1.1 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Hummel Reservoir should be assumed from this page alone.
