• Where to Fish on Marshall Reservoir Number 2

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. 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. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Read this water for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 72°F for July and 27°F for January. Most months fish reasonably, given the right weather. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. On this water the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Carp respond to sweetcorn or boilies fished patiently on the bottom near feeding areas. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Should this one be busy, Hartford Reservoir is 0.9 miles off. Treat access at this water as something to verify.
