Fishing near Fort Collins, Colorado

This is Fort Collins, a Colorado town in Larimer County. The blue on the map begins a little way out of town. Beginning with the nearest: Lindenmeier Lake on 2.5 miles away to the north-east, Williams Lake on 2.6 miles away, Terry Lake on 2.9 miles away to the north then Nelson Reservoir on 3.2 miles away. College Lake has a hard edge and little natural cover, so wind and light decide the day. Winter puts a hard lid on these. Spring wind can be worse than spring cold here. Nearly all of it is impounded. Timber in the water is the first thing to look for. Lindenmeier Lake, the closest, runs to roughly 99 acres. There is a car park at Lindenmeier Lake, according to mapping. Water round here typically opens up around early March. Larimer County records cover black-spotted cutthroat trout, brook trout and white sucker. If you only have a morning, take Lindenmeier Lake and leave the rest....
