Fishing at Lake Pueblo

All Colorado Division of Wildlife fishing regulations apply and anglers must have a valid Colorado fishing license at all times. There are two special size restrictions on the Pueblo Reservoir:

1. All largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass must be at least 15".
2. Walleyes and saugeyes must be at least 18" with a bag and possession limit of five.  Only one walleye or saugeye over 21" can be taken per day.

Anglers can choose the reservoir, or one of these other areas:

1. The Anticline Fishing Pond: Universally accessible and stocked regularly the pond is perfect for an easy and relaxing day of fishing. There are picnic tables, plenty of shade, restroom facilities, and playgrounds here as part of the Rock Canyon Day-Use area below the dam.  Anticline Pond is an excellent spot to teach kids the joys of fishing or just plan a fun family outing of picnicking, fishing, and relaxing.  
2. The Valco Ponds: east of the reservoir off of Hwy 96, offers easy access to the Arkansas River and provides anglers three ponds stocked with warm water fish. Boats are not allowed on the ponds, but belly boats and float tubes are.
