: Rifle Gap Reservoir - The Rifle Gap water level is approximately six feet below spilling. The temperature is 66 degrees. Crappie fishing is very good on the southeast corner of the lake using a small white jig with slip bobber. The northern pike can be caught throughout the reservoir using smelt for bait and with large lures or flies. Brown trout and rainbow trout are being caught with standard baits and rainbow or brown lures. Fishing for walleyes is good near the dam and island using black-and-silver Rapalas or around the islands with a worm harness. Yellow perch are being caught all over the lake, especially in the morning using a small amount of bait and a very light rod. Reported by: Colorado D.O.W |
