Pueblo Reservoir

                I have fished Pueblo Reservoir several times over the past couple months and haven't had very good luck. After a couple trips of fishing for large mouth bass i decided to change it up and fish for green eared sunfish(perch). The tackle used this time was spinning rods/reels, six pound line, a hook, bobber and worms(night crawlers).
              That day I went fishing with my other roommate Adam and our neighbor Kelly. Fishing was slow at first until we moved back into one of the many coves of the lake. I was the first one to hook a perch Kelly and Adam had several bites before this but was struggling to hook the fish. After I caught my perch Adam caught one shortly after followed by Kelly. We only fished for a couple hours in the evening time then it got dark and we went home.

             Pueblo Reservoir is one of the bigger lakes around southern Colorado and it gets used quite a bit by recreational boaters. During the summer time its heavily used by people water skiing, wake boarding, tubing, and jet skiing. The water appears very dirty and has a lot of trash around the edges. It seems a better spot to enjoy recreational boating than fishing.
