Rainbow Trout
While Haswell, Colorado, isn't renowned for its trout fishing, there are still opportunities to find Rainbow Trout within a reasonable drive. Focus on smaller streams and reservoirs in the surrounding area. These waters are often stocked, providing a chance to catch stocked rainbows. Spring and fall are generally the best times to fish, when water temperatures are cooler. Small spinners, spoons, and bait like worms or PowerBait can be effective. A local tip is to check the Colorado Parks and Wildlife stocking reports to see which waters have been recently stocked. Access to these streams and reservoirs can sometimes be limited, so be sure to research access points and obtain any necessary permits. Rainbows in this area are typically of stocked size, but the chance to enjoy some quiet stream fishing in a relatively remote setting can be rewarding. Remember to practice responsible angling and respect the environment.
