The biggest problem anglers have now is where to fish. Most small ponds up and down the Front Range are fishing well for bass, crappie and sunfish. A wide variety of lures have been working. Consider top water, just for the fun of it, though gulp minnows and jigs are more effective. Flies or worms under a float are great for panfish. Walleye anglers should consider Cherry Creek, Jumbo, Jackson, Boyd and Chatfield. Trolling a worm harness with a bottom bouncer is a good tactic. Many rivers are starting to discolor, so trout anglers will do best fishing still water, such as the Red Feather Lakes or North Park.
