The ramp at Horse Creek Reservoir is useless. For those who can reach the water, prospects are rosy. The lake should have its best production in several years. News is almost uniformly good in the northeast, where reservoirs such as Jackson, Prewitt and North Sterling survived last summer's drawdown. Along with Boyd, Lonetree and Union, these boast excellent populations of most species.
Prospects also are good in the Denver metro area.
Both Cherry Creek and Chatfield have lots of walleyes. May. Standley promises walleye and smallmouth. For a new experience, try McKay Lake at 144th Ave.
