Kluver Reservoir Fishing Guide, Larimer County, Colorado

• Overview

  In Colorado, Kluver Reservoir belongs to Larimer County. The setting is open valley. With some 91 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. The bank runs about 1.5 miles all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. By elevation it sits in the lower part of our Colorado listings. Nearest place of any size is Laporte, 3 miles away. Fort Collins follows at 4.8 miles, then Wellington at 5.7 miles. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Kluver Reservoir

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Records held for Larimer County cover black-spotted cutthroat trout, brook trout and white sucker. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. At Kluver Reservoir the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 71°F, while January sits near 28°F. A lid forms in a hard winter only. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Kluver Reservoir fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Launching is possible: a slipway lies half a mile off. Public data records a pier about half a mile out. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Failing this one, try Water Supply and Storage Reservoir Number 4, 0.6 miles away. Ask locally about Kluver Reservoir if anything is unclear.
