• Where to Fish on Park Creek Reservoir Number 2

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Species logged across Larimer County include black-spotted cutthroat trout, brook trout, white sucker and rainbow trout. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. This water gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 29°F in January and 70°F in July. A lid forms in a hard winter only. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. This water fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Records show it does not hold water year-round. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. For a change of water, Park Creek Reservoir is 1.7 miles distant. Confirm before you fish this water.
