• Where to Fish on Rocky Ridge Lake Reservoir Number 1

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Species logged across Larimer County include black-spotted cutthroat trout, brook trout, white sucker, rainbow trout and brown trout. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Fish this water to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 70°F and January near 29°F on the long-run figures. The year turns gently, without extremes at either end. 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. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. There is a pier recorded roughly half a mile away. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Should this one be busy, Water Supply and Storage Reservoir Number 3 is 0.6 miles off. Nothing here settles the position at this water for certain.
