Walleye
Walleye in the Aspen, Colorado area? It's not the first species that comes to mind, but a few reservoirs within a reasonable drive can offer opportunities. Consider heading east towards the Front Range and targeting larger bodies of water like Pueblo Reservoir or heading south to the Blue Mesa Reservoir. These reservoirs, while a drive from Aspen, are known for their Walleye populations. Spring and fall are peak seasons, coinciding with the Walleye spawn and pre-winter feeding frenzy. Jigs tipped with nightcrawlers or minnows, crankbaits, and trolling tactics are all effective. Focus on rocky points, submerged humps, and drop-offs. Due to the distance involved, plan for a full day trip. Check water levels and fishing reports before you go, as conditions can vary. Remember that Colorado fishing regulations apply, and a valid fishing license is required.
