![]() Even with high water levels the walleye bite is on at Lake Pueblo! Lake Pueblo water levels are extremely high closing the South Boat Ramp, however the walleye are still putting the feedbags on. The bass fishing has seemed to slow down from a week ago, but the carp fishing has only gotten better. An occasional wiper is still being caught, however with little consistency. The bite seems to be changing from day to day, along with changing throughout the day. The walleye are in schools so when you find one active fish, stay there for a while and put the grind on those fish. The walleye seem to be moving throughout the day so when the bite stops or slows down, move depth or location to get back on the active fish. Fish Hard! FishHead Outdoors

![]() The fishing remains good on Lake Pueblo for walleye, bass, and trout with the occasional wiper being caught. The walleye fishing has been best the first and last few hours of light, with the bite getting tougher as the sun gets higher in the sky. Traditional walleye presentations have been working well jigging twister-tails or live-bait rigs. The bass fishing has been getting more consistent as the water temps climb, with the best action in shallower water around cover. Some nice size trout in the 3 and 4 lb range have been showing up in the mid to high water column, 15 ft and shallower while trolling. The carp seem to be done spawning and are now cruising the shore-lines which makes them accessible to the fisherman. Fish Hard!

Lake Pueblo walleye fishing has been great with lots of fish and some keeper walleye mixed in the bunch. Pueblo walleye have been hanging out in smaller schools and constantly seem to be on the move, so if you are not graphing fish than move. Where the walleye bite may be in the morning can change in the matter of just a couple hours, so stay on the move to stay on the walleye. Depth and presentations have been changing as fast as the walleye have been moving. So the rule of thumb is if your graphing fish but not getting hits then keep changing lures and presentations until you get a bite. Most of the walleye have been on the bottom or suspending just off the bottom, so your normal walleye fishing techniques have been working well, jigging and live-bait rigs. Fish Hard!

On Spinney Mt Reservoir, the trout fishing remains good with the average trout going large 20 to 21 inches and around 3.5 pounds. Trout are being caught using three primary methods of fishing, trolling, jigging, and fly fishing. Slower trolling speeds with natural colored plugs like rainbow and crawdad colors trolled shallower in 12 to 18 ft of water has been working well. Drifting and casting with tube jigs next to weed beds has been doing good with the best colors being natural colors imitating crawdads or small rainbows trout. Stillwater fly fishing has been doing well with more insect hatches occurring as the weather warms and the weed beds become more established with the best fly patterns being chironomids, midges, pheasant-tail, scuds, and leeches. Trout seem to be orienting around weed beds and shore lines, so focus your time there. The trout seem to be roaming in small dispensed wolf packs so when you hook into one, make sure to watch your other lines. Lake Pueblo trout fishing has been fair to good from the shore line, with the occasional boater landing one. Worms, shrimp, worms and marshmallows, and powerbait seem to be the baits of choice.

AuthorFishing is not a hobby, it's my lifestyle. If I'm not on the water, I'm thinking about being on the water. Obviously obsessed, the fishing journey has carried me across the Rocky Mountains eventually across the states, where I encountered the term "FishHead" for the first time. "FishHead" - a person who is completely consumed by the thoughts of fishing; an incurable sickness caused by fishing that consumes a person during all awake hours and usually persists throughout the sleep cycle.
