Waucondah Reservoir in Douglas County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Waucondah Reservoir is one of the Douglas County listings for Colorado. The bank is 6,391 feet above sea level. The water measures roughly 18 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. Nearest town is Perry Park, 0.4 miles off. Palmer Lake follows at 10 miles, then Castle Rock at 10 miles. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Waucondah Reservoir

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Reported across Douglas County: white sucker, longnose sucker and rainbow trout. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Read Waucondah Reservoir before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 28°F in January and 68°F in July. The calendar is generous: something works in nearly every month. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Anyone fishing Waucondah Reservoir regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. A car park sits roughly half a mile away. Mapping records toilets within half a mile. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. For a change of water, Palmer Lake is 10 miles distant. Treat Waucondah Reservoir as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
