• Where to Fish on Valle Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Survey and observation records for Denver County include common carp, white sucker, bluegill, green sunfish and longnose sucker. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. The near bank of Valle Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 31°F to 73°F. The year gives four workable seasons without severe ends. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Valle Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Boat access is recorded roughly half a mile away. There is recorded parking some half a mile off. A pier or jetty stands half a mile away, which helps on a crowded bank. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Midway Lake, 0.2 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing on Valle Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
