Little Mud Reservoir Fishing in Montezuma County, Colorado

• Overview

  The Montezuma County end of Colorado holds Little Mud Reservoir. What surrounds it is lake country bush. Small enough that any disturbance crosses the whole surface. It is a small entry by Montezuma County standards. Nearest town is Mancos, 11 miles off. The big place round here is Albuquerque, 191 miles distant. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Little Mud Reservoir

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Fish documented in Montezuma County include bluehead sucker, brook trout, bluegill and walleye. The county list is broader than any single water. The near bank of Little Mud Reservoir is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 23°F to 62°F. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid April. Ice clears near mid April and comes back about early December in a typical year. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. That shapes the year on Little Mud Reservoir.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. For a change of water, Old Logging Camp Reservoir is 1.4 miles distant. Confirm before you fish Little Mud Reservoir.
