What To Bring:

• Proper clothing for various weather conditions (coat, hat, gloves, sweater, long sleeve shirt, long pants, UV clothing if you have it. Be sure to dress in layers)

For more helpful tips on what to bring/wear read our article on Dressing In Layers.

We understand that booking a guided fishing trip for the first time can be a bit confusing so we put together a list of our most Frequently Asked Questions to help answer any questions you may have and/or ones that you haven’t even thought of yet.

Without a doubt, the cool Summer months on Blue Mesa Reservoir are best for red-hot angling action! This lake has one of the largest populations of Kokanee Salmon in the nation and Summer is the time to get ‘em. The Rainbow trout population has also been booming in the last few years, keeping anglers busy. Don’t forget about the trophy fish…they’re still here! This is the optimal time to book your guided fishing trips!

With Fall comes cooler temps and the quieting of the lake.  Many anglers are heading home for the season and families are heading back to school but few know that this is when Blue Mesa Reservoir is really on fire! Trout fishing is at it’s all-time best in the Fall.  Lake Trout and Browns are headed to shallow waters to spawn making them much more accessible to anglers.

During the winter months ice forms and covers most, if not all, of Blue Mesa.  Fish also head to the bottom of the lake where the warmer water has settled.  These factors make finding those monster fish a bit of a challenge but definitely not impossible.
