Aurora Fishing Upgrade: Quincy Reservoir Fishing Pier

Posted on November 6, 2011 by Aurora Reservoir

Though there are many fishing opportunities in and around the Denver Metro area, shoreline access issues arise when water levels drop during the summer and into the fall.

One local reservoir where this was a particular issue is our sister water body, Quincy Reservoir. Since both Quincy and Aurora Reservoirs are used as part of the area’s water supply, by summer the water level typically drops to levels making access difficult to shoreline anglers.

Thankfully, this issue has been addressed via the construction of a new fishing pier at Quincy Reservoir that is over 20 feet longer than others as described in the following video…

Chasing Shallow Water Smallmouth Bass at Aurora Reservoir

Posted on March 18, 2011 by Aurora Reservoir

Ever have one of those days at Aurora Reservoir when all you seem to be doing is fishing but not a whole lot of catching?

Seems like that was the case for these two anglers last spring while fishing at Aurora! After spotting two smallmouth bass cruising through the reservoir’s shallow water, they just couldn’t entice them into taking their offerings!

Now that was literally chasing shallow water smallmouth bass wasn’t it :)

Given the apparent size of the two smallmouths and the fact the new Colorado state record fish was harvested ftrom Aurora Reservoir last fall, it’s pretty clear Aurora Reservoir has a great population of smallmouth bass …
