Thompson Reservoir near Todd Creek: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Weld County, Colorado, is where Thompson Reservoir sits. The setting is open valley on every side. Small at around 17 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. It is low-lying compared with other Colorado water we list. You are 4.1 miles from Todd Creek. Dacono is 4.2 miles away, with Frederick at 5 miles. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Thompson Reservoir

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Across Weld County, recorded fish include white sucker, common carp, green sunfish and longnose sucker. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Read Thompson Reservoir for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 73°F in July and bottoms out near 28°F in January. Whether it freezes depends on the year. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. That is the shape of the year on Thompson Reservoir.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the carp, bait a margin spot and sit on it; corn and bread still work. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. The nearest alternative is Guthrie Reservoir Number 1, 3.2 miles out. Treat access at Thompson Reservoir as something to verify.
