Whether fishing on the shore or by boat, guests are sure to enjoy fishing at the Pueblo Reservoir. Some fish caught are: trout, walleye, large and smallmouth bass, crappie, channel catfish, wiper (a cross between white bass and stripe bass), bluegill, and yellow perch. With that variety, it is easy to see why fishing at Lake Pueblo is always fun and challenging.
Lake Pueblo offers two great alternatives to fishing the Pueblo Reservoir. In the Rock Canyon Day-Use area below the dam, the Anticline Fishing Pond (which is stocked regularly) is the perfect place for an easy and relaxing day of fishing. There is a handicap pier for easy access, picnic tables, plenty of shade, restroom facilities, and playgrounds. Anticline Pond is an excellent spot to teach kids the joys of fishing or just plan a fun family outing of picnicking, fishing, and relaxing. Another fishing option at Lake Pueblo is the challenge of the spillway area and Arkansas River. Fall and spring are great times to test your fly-fishing skills on the river.
