• Where to Fish on Wykert Number 4 Reservoir

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Survey and observation records for Weld County include white sucker, common carp and green sunfish. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. The near bank of this water is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 71°F, with January the cold end at about 27°F. Conditions shift steadily rather than sharply. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. This water fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Carp respond to sweetcorn or boilies fished patiently on the bottom near feeding areas. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. If the gate is shut, Wykert Reservoir Number 1 at 1.2 miles is the nearest alternative. Confirm access to this water locally before you travel.
