Cirque Lake is a lake in Larimer County, Colorado, and covers about 1.5 acres.

Cirque Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.

Fish and Baits

At Cirque Lake, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

At Cirque Lake, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.

How to Read the Water

To narrow down this small, open lake in Larimer County, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.

Season by Season

During a slow pass across this small, open lake in Larimer County, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.

A Simple Tackle Plan

At Cirque Lake, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.

At Cirque Lake, record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
