Fishing near Westminster, Colorado

Westminster stands in Adams County, out in Colorado. There are about 116,317 people here. On the doorstep and beyond: Mayham Lake after 1.2 miles to the south, Lake Arbor after 1.6 miles, Gordon Lake after 2.4 miles to the south-east with Croke Lake after 3.7 miles. Mayham Lake is the plain first choice: find the weed edge, then work the drop behind it. The list leans heavily on held water. Bars and shallow humps are worth finding before you fish. The cold season shuts the open water down. The shallow ends open first when it lets go. Nearest is Mayham Lake, roughly 75 acres of surface. Boats go in at Mayham Lake, going by the mapping. Open records for Adams County list common carp, white sucker, bluegill and green sunfish. An awkward wind matters more here than the extra miles. If you only have a morning, take Mayham Lake and leave the rest....
