Grab Your Rod: 3 Freshly Stocked Lakes in Western Colorado
Grab your fishing rod because these lakes in Western Colorado were just stocked this month. Now that you've got your rod and your place to fish -- ready, set, cast.
All of these four lakes were freshly stocked in early through mid April. These lakes have been stocked with trout, and not just any trout, 10" long trout.

It looks like you'll have your rod full here at Harvey Gap Reservoir. The reservoir stocked on April 8 and has a lot of different species for you to fish. There's two different kinds of bass, catfish, crappie, perch, pike, tiger muskie, blue kill and rainbow trout. Some of these fish are on my 'Colorado Fish Wishlist' so I'll definitely be making a trip here.
