Long Draw Reservoir

Long Draw Reservoir

Host: Dave Morse - dgmorse45@gmail.com

Chapter member Dave Morse is organizing a group fishing trip to Long Draw Reservoir near Cameron Pass on Saturday, July 19. July is a great time to fish the lake for beautiful 12-18” cutthroats. Float tubes provide the most access, but you can fish from shore or wade in the inlet creek. We’ll fish the west end near the inlet and Grand View Campground, (40°29'35.0"N 105°48'17.7"W).

The fish love dry flies such as #14-16 Hippy Stompers, Happy Hippies, Stimulators, Amy’s Ants, Chubby Chernobyls, or a Madam X’s. You can add small nymph droppers such as #16-18 red Copper Johns, Pheasant Tails, Rainbow Warriors or Snow Cones. The water is still very cold so we recommend long underwear pants for float tubing.

If you don’t have a float tube, let Dave know and we may be able to find a loaner for you.

You can either meet us up there or meet us at 6:15 am in the NW corner of the N College King Soopers lot in Fort Collins to carpool.
