: Ridgway Reservoir - The lake is going down (a lot!). The water temperature is in the upper 60s and the fishing is still good. Some 45,000 catchable-sized trout have been stocked over the past few months. A 12-pound brown trout was caught the end of July on Power bait. Several 3-6 pound Browns have been caught this past three weeks on night crawlers. Boaters are starting to pick up some Kokanee on pink needlefish. Bank anglers have been doing well using night crawlers, red salmon eggs and silver or gold Kastmasters. Reported by: Colorado D.O.W |
