Fish species in Trickle Reservoir

Trickle Reservoir is a reservoir in Delta County, Colorado, and covers about 5 acres and holds roughly 52 acre-feet.

The small size of Trickle Reservoir makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Trickle Reservoir include Brown Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.

To narrow down this small, open reservoir in Delta County, try this for brown trout: work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water.

How to Read the Water

On the 5-acre reservoir in Delta County, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.

Season by Season

At Trickle Reservoir, in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.

A Simple Tackle Plan

At Trickle Reservoir, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.

At Trickle Reservoir, 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.
