• Where to Fish on Moosman Reservoir

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Garfield County records list brown trout, rainbow trout, brook trout and Arctic grayling among the fish reported. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Read Moosman Reservoir before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 22°F in January to roughly 58°F in July. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Once it clears, about early May, the fishing comes on quickly. The lid tends to go about early May and return around late November. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Moosman Reservoir.
