RAINBOW TROUT
Rainbow trout are plentiful in the majority of reservoirs and they are a fun catch. Rainbow's like to jump out of the water to try to get off the hook as you have them on the hook giving you a good fight. Trout are the 4th most popular fish to catch and are mostly found in cold water areas.
In Colorado there are ponds that will actually stock Trout for the beginner fisherman or fisherwoman.
WALLEYE
Walleye are one of the best tasting fish in my opinion. They are fun to catch because they are finicky eaters. These lil buggers will have to be tempted...mostly with live bait. Walleye usually swim in schools so if you get one you will probably get another. I have found that Walleye like leaches or night crawlers and that makes for an easier catch.
SALMON
Salmon cannot spawn in Colorado so they have to be stocked. Kokanee salmon are stocked in many Colorado waters. Beaver Creek, Eleven Mile Reservoir, Blue Mesa, Clear Creek, Grand Lake, Blue Mesa, Shadow Mountain Reservoir, Williams Fork Reservoir, Taylor Reservoirs are some of the waters that have Salmon.
If you don't like fishing with a ton of people you probably should avoid Cherry Creek Reservoir, Chatfield, and Boulder Reservoir during the weekend because it can be crazy busy.
FAMILY
The Trout Haven Ranch in Estes Park is a great option for families. Each person is guaranteed to catch a fish. They will provide all the equipment for each fisherman or fisherwoman.
COLORADO
With 8,000 miles of rivers and more than 2,000 lakes, Colorado fishing is some of the best, and most abundant, anywhere. Not to mention the natural beauty that surrounds it all. Fly-fishers, ice-fishers and pure rod-and-reelers find plenty of places to fish in Colorado.
