Antero Reservoir is a reservoir in Colorado, near Park County.
Antero Reservoir is a reservoir in Park County, Colorado, and covers about 3,446 acres, reaches about 111.2 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 44,733 acre-feet.
Antero Reservoir is big water, and a useful pattern in one arm may not carry to the far end of the lake. Deep water at Antero Reservoir gives fish room to move away from shore as summer heat and bright light build.
Antero Reservoir is shallow, high, and rich in food, which has long helped trout grow quickly. It is also a working Denver Water reservoir, so drought drawdowns can change the lake and its fishery sharply.
When the reservoir has enough water to fish, windblown shelves and weed edges are better starting points than a deep-water search. Small jigs, leech patterns, and spoons fit its trout. Check current water conditions before building a trip around old reports.
Its shallow, fertile water produces plenty of insects and other food during years when water conditions are good.
They can remove shoreline cover, concentrate fish, and sometimes lead to fish-salvage work, so an old pattern may no longer fit.
Fish a windblown shelf or weed edge with a small jig, spoon, or leech pattern and adjust depth after the first signs of fish.
