• Overview

With 8.7 miles or so of shoreline, boat anglers cover ground the bank cannot. Across our Colorado listings, few waters are bigger. Lamar is the closest place, 17 miles off. The big place round here is Pueblo, 101 miles distant. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Neegronda Reservoir

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Bent County records list common carp, walleye, white bass and largemouth bass among the fish reported. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. On Neegronda Reservoir the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 77°F and January about 28°F. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. That is the shape of the year on Neegronda Reservoir.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Mud Lake sits 2.3 miles off and takes the overflow. Signs at Neegronda Reservoir carry more weight than any list.
