Horsetooth Reservoir Guided Fly Fishing Trips

 

Colorado is well-known as a destination state. Everyone is aware of the recreational opportunities, such as skiing, snowboarding, hiking, mountain climbing, and trout fishing in its hundreds of miles of “Gold Medal” streams and rivers.

When it comes to Colorado fishing, trout get all the glory. And, with the quality of trout fishing this great state has to offer, it’s understandable why.

But, what’s easy to forget is that, amongst those gold, brown, and rainbow colors swimming in those clear Colorado waters, also lies the color green. Largely considered one of the hardest “pound-for-pound” fighters, the scrappy smallmouth bass is a part of Colorado and it dominates the spring and summer shorelines of Horsetooth Reservoir.

Horestooth Reservoir Offers Unique Fishing Opportunities

Horsetooth Reservoir is unique because of its topography. And what makes the smallmouth bass fishing so good are the reservoir’s shallow coves. The water that feeds into Horsetooth comes from the mountains that line the western slope of the state. This attributes to the main body of water being very cold but, as the weather warms up, the shallow coves warm up fast.

This, combined with the heat retaining properties of the water’s defining red stone rock features the bass use as cover, result in a magnet for these fish and an amazing opportunity for the ever-ready angler. The coves of Horsetooth Reservoir become a smallmouth bass frenzy, rivaling the top lakes in the country!
