• Where to Fish on Lemesany Detention Number 2 Reservoir

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Species logged across El Paso County include rainbow trout, common carp, brook trout and green sunfish. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Fish this water where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 27°F in January up to 68°F in July. Ice comes and goes from one year to the next. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Plan around that when you fish this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Records show it does not hold water year-round. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Where this water is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
