Fishing at Wadley Reservoir Number 2, Adams County, Colorado

• Overview

  Wadley Reservoir Number 2 is set in Adams County, Colorado. The land about it is mixed woodland. About 14 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. 4.3 miles away sits Todd Creek, the nearest town. Northglenn is 5.5 miles and Thornton 6.4 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Wadley Reservoir Number 2

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. County-wide records name common carp, white sucker and bluegill. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. At this water the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 73°F for July and 30°F for January. Temperature moves within a narrow band, and so does the fishing. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. That shapes the year on this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Recorded parking is half a mile off, far enough to travel light. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. For a change of water, Wadley Reservoir Number 3 is 0.4 miles distant. For this water, the notice at the access point is the final word.
