• Where to Fish on Trustees Pueblo WW Reservoir Number 2

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Public occurrence data for Pueblo County names rainbow trout, white sucker, bluegill and green sunfish. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. At this water the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 76°F and January near 31°F. Most months fish reasonably, given the right weather. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Expect this water to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Launching is possible: a slipway lies half a mile off. You can park half a mile away and walk in from there. A pier or jetty stands half a mile away, which helps on a crowded bank. A picnic spot sits half a mile from the bank. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. If the gate is shut, Northside Reservoir at 1.7 miles is the nearest alternative. Confirm access to this water locally before you travel.
