Landora Lake Fishing Guide, Denver County, Colorado

• Overview

  Denver County, Colorado, is where Landora Lake sits. The setting is mixed woodland on every side. The water covers some 50 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Shoreline comes to about 1.7 miles, small enough to learn in a day. It ranks high for size among our Denver County listings. For a base, Derby sits 3.5 miles out. After that come Commerce City at 4.1 miles and Welby at 5.5 miles. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Landora Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Species logged across Denver County include common carp, white sucker, bluegill and green sunfish. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. At Landora Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 30°F to 74°F. Temperature moves within a narrow band, and so does the fishing. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Landora Lake fishes to that pattern most years. A rising level usually fishes better than a falling one.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. You can leave the car about half a mile from the water. A pier half a mile from here gives a platform over deeper water. There are toilets mapped about half a mile away. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. The nearest alternative is Lake Mary, 0.3 miles out. For Landora Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
