Crappie
While not as famous as its trout fishing, Buena Vista, Colorado, does offer some crappie fishing opportunities in nearby reservoirs and smaller lakes. Antero Reservoir, about an hour's drive north, is a popular destination for crappie anglers. Spring, particularly May and June, is the best time to target crappie as they move into shallower waters to spawn. Look for submerged structure, such as brush piles or weed beds, as these areas often hold concentrations of fish. Minnows under a bobber are a classic and effective technique. Local tip: Check the Colorado Parks and Wildlife fishing report for up-to-date information on reservoir levels and fishing conditions. Crappie in this region tend to be smaller than those found in warmer climates, but their delicious flavor makes them a worthwhile target. Be prepared for wind and sun at the exposed reservoirs.
