Walleye
If you're looking to hook into some walleye in the heart of Colorado, Salida offers a unique opportunity. While not traditionally known as a walleye hotspot, nearby reservoirs like Pueblo Reservoir and Spinney Mountain Reservoir (a bit of a drive, but worth it) hold decent populations. Spring and fall are your best bets, as the walleye move into shallower water to spawn or feed before winter. Local tip: Pueblo Reservoir can get windy, so check the forecast before heading out. Focus on rocky points and submerged structure. For Spinney, be prepared for crowds, especially on weekends. Anglers often find success trolling crankbaits or jigging with nightcrawlers. The walleye here can be finicky, so experiment with different presentations. Remember Colorado Parks and Wildlife regulations apply, so check for any specific restrictions or closures before you go.
