Wolhurst Lake near Columbine: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Wolhurst Lake lies in Arapahoe County, Colorado. The setting is mixed woodland on every side. At 8 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Most waters listed here for Arapahoe County are larger. 2.2 miles away sits Columbine, the nearest town. Further out sit Columbine Valley (2.4 miles) and Littleton (3.4 miles). It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Wolhurst Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. County-wide records name common carp, white sucker and walleye. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Fish Wolhurst Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 72°F and January near 30°F on the long-run figures. The calendar is generous: something works in nearly every month. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Time your trip to Wolhurst Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. You can leave the car about half a mile from the water. Fishing from a pier is possible half a mile away. There are toilets half a mile off. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. The nearest alternative is Blackrock Lake, 0.2 miles out. Check the position at Wolhurst Lake before loading the car.
