NORTHEAST REGION
Barnes Meadow Reservoir-Barnes Meadow opened at the end of last week. There have been a few anglers having some luck.
Carter Reservoir-The water level is about 2 feet below maximum and should remain near maximum levels into the summer. The current water temperature is 50 degrees. The bass are starting to bite on the north end. No new reports on walleye this weekend. Rainbows are being caught on the north and south end of the reservoir.
Flatiron Reservoir-The fishing was good last weekend for rainbows and cutbows. As usual, the water level has been fluctuating rapidly and is currently at 93 percent capacity.
Horsetooth Reservoir-Fishing at Horsetooth Reservoir is slow. Trout have been active in the Inlet bay area with fish hitting on worms. The water temp is around 45-47 degrees and warming. Look for the smallmouth to become active around 50-55 degrees. Inlet Channel is closed to fishing upstream from marked buoy from March 15 through May 31.
Jackson Reservoir-Fishing is good for trout and fair for wipers off the west shoreline, north shore, and dam using natural bait, such as worms. Fishing is starting to pick up for walleye.
Joe Wright Reservoir-Joe Wright is still mostly covered by ice and it is bad ice. Fishing is prohibited from January 1 through July 31 on Joe Wright Creek. Ice off is usually in June, but will depend on the weather.
Jumbo Reservoir-Water is at full capacity. Trout and Walleye fishing is beginning to pick up, a few limits are being caught with night crawlers and crank bait. The water temperature is 50 degrees.
Long Draw Reservoir-The road is closed and usually opens around July 4.
North Sterling Reservoir-The lake is full. The water temperature is in the lower 60s. The Inlet and Balanced Rock areas are producing lots of wipers with some anglers getting full limits on Green Mussel. Some trout are still coming out along the dam and Balanced Rock areas. Big catfish are still in the Cunningham Arm.
Pinewood Reservoir-Pinewood's water level is currently at 86 percent capacity. Rainbows have been biting on power bait and salmon eggs. Other anglers are using worms with some success.
Poudre River-The flow at the mouth is 943cfs (as of Sun Mar 16, 2010). The Poudre is running high and tea colored due to recent rain/snow storms. There were Blue Winged Olives (BWO) and small black caddis prior to the storms.
Prewitt Reservoir-Water level is at 100 percent. Fishing is poor to slow for all classes of fish from shore or boat. Water temperature is in the upper 50s and low 60s.
St Vrain River (Town of Lyons)-Water clarity is good and easy to access in all areas. An ample supply of Browns and Rainbows live in these cold waters. Monday yielded 15-18 fish with the most success on a dry/dropper rig of standard flies such as copper johns, pheasant tails, and elk wing caddis. Several stoneflies have been spotted and the trout are eating very small imitations of these.
