Fishing La Pear Pond in Pueblo County, Colorado

• Overview

  Look for La Pear Pond in Pueblo County, Colorado. This is sage and rock ground. It runs to roughly 38 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. By elevation it sits in the lower part of our Colorado listings. 19 miles away sits Fowler, the nearest town. Further out sit Rocky Ford (24 miles) and La Junta (30 miles). One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on La Pear Pond

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Reported across Pueblo County: rainbow trout, white sucker and bluegill. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. At La Pear Pond the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 77°F; the cold one sits at 31°F. The freeze here is occasional rather than annual. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. That shapes the year on La Pear Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Mapped as intermittent, it fills after rain and shrinks between. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. For a change of water, Davis Reservoir is 4.5 miles distant. Confirm before you fish La Pear Pond.
