• Where to Fish on Mountain Supply Reservoir Number 1

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Species logged across Larimer County include black-spotted cutthroat trout, brook trout, white sucker and rainbow trout. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On this water the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 29°F in January to roughly 70°F in July. A lid forms in a hard winter only. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. On this water that shapes the whole year. Fish feed harder before a change in weather than after it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. This one is mapped as intermittent, so a wasted trip is a real risk in a dry year. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. For a change of water, Park Creek Reservoir is 7.5 miles distant. What applies at this water may have changed since it was mapped.
