The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Law Reservoir

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Survey and observation records for Weld County include white sucker, common carp, green sunfish, longnose sucker and bluegill. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Read Law Reservoir for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 71°F and January at 27°F. Conditions shift steadily rather than sharply. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. The season on Law Reservoir follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. You can leave the car about half a mile from the water. Facilities include toilets around half a mile from here. Carp respond to sweetcorn or boilies fished patiently on the bottom near feeding areas. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. For a change of water, Franklin Lake is 0.6 miles distant. The position on Law Reservoir is worth confirming on the day.
