Walleye
Walleye fishing at Sheridan Lake, Colorado, can be a rewarding experience for anglers willing to put in the time. This eastern plains reservoir offers a decent walleye population, although they can be challenging to locate. The prime times to target walleye here are during the spring and fall, particularly during low-light conditions. Focus your efforts on rocky points, submerged humps, and along the dam. Jigs tipped with nightcrawlers or minnows are a classic walleye presentation, but crankbaits can also be effective when trolled along deeper structure. Sheridan Lake can be subject to strong winds, so be prepared for changing conditions and consider using heavier weights to maintain bottom contact. A local tip: try fishing near the inlet in the spring as walleye migrate upstream to spawn. The walleye in Sheridan Lake aren't known for their size, but they can still provide a delicious meal and a satisfying fishing experience.
