Colorado Area Fishing - Northeast Colorado 1. CHERRY CREEK RESERVOIR: There is premier trophy walleye fishing at Cherry Creek, which is nestled within a natural prairie environment. The best fishing occurs in mid-May to early June with jigs, bait and plugs along the dam and island. Anglers can find crappies, wipers and catchable stocked trout. Location: Interstate 225 to Parker Road, south on Parker Road to the east entrance off South Yosemite Street.2. QUINCY RESERVOIR: This is a haven for tiger muskies, producing the state's record (40 lb.,2 oz. ). In addition, there is good bass fishing and spring trout fishing. Location: The reservoir is .5 miles east of Buckley Road on Quincy Ave. in Aurora. 3. AURORA RESERVOIR: Perched atop the high plains of Aurora's "outback," this oasis provides 820 acres of water for the outdoor enthusiast. There are plenty of game fish including rainbow trout, brown trout, walleye, wipers, largemouth bass, yellow perch and crappie. The reservoir is open year-round, from dawn until dusk. Location: Approximately 2.5 miles east of Gun Club Road on Quincy Ave. 4. CHATFIELD RESERVOIR: This Denver metro area reservoir is one of the most popular recreation areas. With its extraordinary view of the foothills, this reservoir is developing a good walleye population, featuring many fish in the one- to three-pound class. There are yellow perch, rainbow trout, tiger muskie, smallmouth bass and crappie. Night fishing lands channel catfish, particularly in the Plum Creek area. Location: South on Highway 85 to C-470, west on C-470, south on Wadsworth to the park entrance. 5. BEAR CREEK: (Evergreen to Bear Creek Reservoir): For a medium-sized stream, Bear Creek produces good catches of 10- to 12-inch rainbow trout with an occasional larger trout being taken. Location: Access west of Morrison on Highway 74. 6. STANDLEY LAKE: A popular recreation spot for west-Denver, this deep (80-plus feet) reservoir provides excellent habitat for rainbow trout, wiper, walleye, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. Walk-in access only in spring and fall. Location: W. 88th Ave. and Kipling Street. 7. BOULDER RESERVOIR: A fantastic view of nearby foothills and 540 acres of open water make this impoundment a favorite with many metro area residents. Walleye fishing is good during the spring. Other fish species include bluegill, crappie, yellow perch, rainbow trout and many channel catfish in the 1- to 6-pound range. Location: Northeast of the Longmont Diagonal at Jay Road and 51st Street. 8. SAWHILL AND WALDEN PONDS: Twenty ponds from 1 to 30 acres sit along Boulder Creek and provide good fishing for largemouth bass, bluegill, pumpkinseed, yellow perch and crappie. Several ponds also contain wiper and walleye. Location: Approximately .5 miles north of Valmont Dr. on N. 75th Street. 9. THE BIG THOMPSON RIVER: This is another favorite of residents and nonresidents alike. Stocked rainbow trout and a natural brown trout population provide good fishing from May through September. Salmon eggs, various lures and worms work best during the spring runoff; flies are best during late July, August and September. Location: East of Estes Park on Highway 34. 10. THE CACHE LA POUDRE RIVER: The river begins its race for the flatlands on the Continental Divide's backbone in Rocky Mountain National Park. During the course of its rush to join the South Platte River near Greeley, it provides more than 60 miles of public fishing. There are good populations of brown and native trout, as well as some mountain whitefish. Three sections on the river are restricted to fly and lure fishing and on these sections the bag and possession limit is two fish, 16 inches or longer. Location: West of Fort Collins on Highway 14 for approximately 14 miles to the mouth of the canyon. Highway 14 continues west up the Cache La Poudre River. 11. SOUTH PLATTE RIVER: The splendid natural beauty of this river is distracting even to the most seasoned angler. Bighorn sheep frequent the canyon walls and a variety of birds hover over the water. The two prime stretches of water area are as follows: Cheesman Reservoir to Strontia Springs Reservoir: This gold medal river is regarded as one of the best rainbow and brown trout fisheries in the nation. There are many fish over 14 inches, particularly upstream of Scraggy View Picnic Ground. Location: U.S. 85 to Colorado 67. Strontia Springs Reservoir to Chatfield Reservoir: Requires hiking or biking. There are fewer anglers in this stretch of water compared to the Deckers area and the concentrations of fish are impressive. Best bets are rainbow and brown trout. Location: C-470 west to South Wadsworth. Follow Wadsworth to the Kassler Water Treatment Plant. Access to this area is by hiking or bicycle. GOLD MEDAL 12. SOUTH PLATTE RIVER IN SOUTH PARK: One of Colorado's best for quality-sized rainbows, browns and cutthroats.

Best kept secret: Elevenmile Canyon near Lake George. Location: West of Colorado Springs on Highway 24. GOLD MEDAL 13.
