Catfish
Catfishing near Colorado Springs requires a bit of exploration, but several reservoirs offer decent opportunities for channel cats. Pueblo Reservoir is again a key location. Summer is undoubtedly the best time, particularly during the warmer evenings and nights. Catfish are most active when water temperatures are high. Stinkbaits, cut bait, and nightcrawlers are all effective choices. Focus on areas with submerged structure or near creek channels entering the reservoir. Local tip: Catfishing can be slow during the day; try fishing after dark for better results. Be prepared for rocky shorelines and bring appropriate footwear. The catfish in Pueblo Reservoir aren't known for their size, but they offer a fun and accessible fishing experience close to the city.
