• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Public data has parking about half a mile from the shore. A toilet block sits half a mile away. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. If the gate is shut, Jackson Lake at 0.7 miles is the nearest alternative. The position on Northglenn Terminal Reservoir is worth confirming on the day.
