A relaxing day out on the lake was all Phil Scharrel of Pine Junction, CO was expecting on the first of July, but things got exciting when he hooked into this beauty. This wraps up our 2000 season Fishing Report Hall of Fame for Wolford Mountain Reservoir. Excellent open water and ice fishing opportunities are available. Stocking has included Rainbow, Cutthroat, Brook and Cutbow Trout, as well as Kokanee Salmon. Fishermen of all ages have had great success fishing at Wolford Mountain.
Fishing is excellent from boats year round.
Others find just as much success casting the lines right from shore, especially early and late in the season. The Colorado River District is presently working with the Division of Wildlife to establish a fishery downstream of the dam's outlet on Muddy Creek. Trout will be the primary catch in this area. For public access to lower Muddy Creek, park at the dam, cross the dam on foot and descend to the creek.
