Crappie
If you're looking for some slab crappie near Denver, Aurora's reservoirs offer some surprisingly good opportunities. Aurora Reservoir and Quincy Reservoir are your best bets. These are relatively clear-water reservoirs, so crappie tend to relate to structure. Submerged trees, weed edges, and rocky drop-offs are all prime holding spots. Spring is fantastic as the crappie move shallow to spawn, and again in the fall as they fatten up for winter. Try small jigs under a bobber or minnows on a light wire hook. Practical tip: Aurora Reservoir has a daily entrance fee, but it's well-maintained with good boat ramps and amenities. Quincy Reservoir is restricted to electric motors only, which can be an advantage if you are looking for a quieter fishing experience. The crappie here can be a decent size, with some fish pushing over two pounds, but be prepared for some stained water conditions after heavy rains.
