Northern Pike
Looking to tangle with some toothy predators in northwest Colorado? Rangely offers surprisingly good Northern Pike fishing, especially in Kenney Reservoir. This reservoir, formed by the White River, provides the ideal habitat for pike to thrive. The best time to target them is during the spring spawn, when they move into the shallows, or in the fall as they bulk up for winter. Large swimbaits, spoons, and crankbaits are your best bet for enticing strikes. A local tip: Focus your efforts around weed beds and submerged timber; pike love to ambush prey from these structures. Be aware that water levels in Kenney Reservoir can fluctuate depending on irrigation demands, so check conditions before you go. The pike population here is healthy, and you have a decent chance of landing a trophy-sized fish, making Rangely a worthwhile destination for pike anglers.
