• Where to Fish on Lake Ramona

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Species logged across Larimer County include black-spotted cutthroat trout, brook trout, white sucker, rainbow trout and brown trout. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. At Lake Ramona light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 57°F and February near 24°F on the long-run figures. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Winter locks it down, and early May brings it back. Climate figures give an open season running early May to late November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Plan around that when you fish Lake Ramona.
