Walleye Fishing in Colorado

(Stizostedion vitreum)

Following a recent resurgence in stocking the “Centennial State’s” rich waters, Walleye fishing in Colorado is an increasingly popular sport. This tough-fighting creature is a prize for anglers all over the country, and its year-round presence just adds to the already colorful menu of fish on offer in Colorado. Come and battle it out with Walleye and see why these fish are so revered!

What to Expect

A trip in search of Walleye will take very different forms, depending on the time of year you go fishing. Come in the depths of winter and try ice fishing, while summer will see you hit the open lakes with a fishing guide, to test your angling skills.

You’ll need to bring your A-game to land these strong creatures. Their excellent vision means they can often spot your line from a distance, averting them from your bait. When you do attract their bite, these strong creatures will give you an intense battle to hook them aboard, trying every trick in the book to get off the end of your line.

Avid anglers, therefore, may feel more comfortable going Walleye fishing in Colorado, but beginners are welcome aboard to learn from an experienced guide.

When and Where to Go

You can go after Walleye year-round in Colorado, with different bodies of water more popular at different times of the year. Head to the lakes around Denver, for exciting action at the start of summer, or hit the mountain reservoirs in the Rockies in winter for some warming action, and even ice fishing when it freezes over.

Beware, though, these fish like to feed near the water tops when the light is low. Get on the water first thing in the morning or at the end of the day for the best results. Some guides may even take you out at night, so come and fish under the stars, too!

How to Prepare

With a Colorado Walleye fishing guide, you’ll have everything you need for a productive day. Heading out on a boat? You’ll have all the gear included. Going ice fishing? An ice hut, augur, and all the appropriate equipment awaits.

All you need to do before going fishing is grab your CO fishing license, some drinks and snacks for the day, and don’t forget to respect the elements! Wrap up warm in winter or bring some sunscreen in summer, and you’ll be good to go.

Colorado offers some of the most stunning sites in the country, why not make the most of them and go after prized Walleye against some breathtaking backdrops?
