Moeller Reservoir near Platteville: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  The Weld County entry here is Moeller Reservoir, in Colorado. The ground round it is open valley. About 6 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Weld County. Platteville sits 4.8 miles from here and is the nearest stop. For a city, Greeley is 15 miles off. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Moeller Reservoir

Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Survey and observation records for Weld County include white sucker, common carp, green sunfish and longnose sucker. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Moeller Reservoir repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 72°F in July and bottom out at 26°F in January. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. At Moeller Reservoir the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits
