I'm too lazy to drive to a mountain lake an hour a way, when there's get local fishing in the small lakes and the Platte. Glad you stopped by our city.
Just north of Confluence Park is a foot bridge crossing the Platte to Commons Park. If you drift a San Juan worm between the 1st pilling and the bank on the S.W. side, there is a hole that holds some nice trout.
I used to live in Denver over twenty years ago on the South Side almost into Englewood. I never.fished city park too many druggies at the time. Washington Park I used to flyfish there with a double dropper rig for crappies. I then started fishing for carp and grass carp since they were the biggest fish in the ponds. I would take carp and drop them in the little kids pond next to the big pond hoping some kid with a mickey mouse rod would get a ten pounder and be hooked for life then at the end of the season I would fish the ponds and throw the carp back into the big pond I also used to fish the Platte River with nightcrawlers and got some trout, a few catfish one was twenty pounds, and some carp under the bridges. It would take two people to catch the carp in the river. We would have one person standing on top of the bridge feeding the worm to the carp, he would set the hook, then let go of the line and have the other guy fight, then we would switch. I'm kinda glad I moved back to Wisconsin but it was more interesting catching little fish in Denver
I got a lil gem of a honey hole for large kissers It’s close to Denver just north of north east Denver It’s kinda hard to get to off the bike path right next to the platte I go down there and only see bike riders passing by I stop at BILL’S live bait on Washington and 62nd-61stish (lol) Right before the train tracks before 58th and Washington But go there an shut a dozen of leaches for $5.95 And a dozen on minnows for $3.95 Got all types of lives and cut baits Need line he got it Little tiny weights up to a pound lead sinkers for them good ol wipers iykyk But run a slip bobber down 20” to a leach Hook ‘em right under the sucker and they stay alive When pull em out of the water they curl up like a rollie pollie And when they hit that water They open and stretch out liek 4-6” long and wiggle like a bad outta hell Them bass can’t control them self like a base head around baking soda and cocacola Also do very well on the walleye at the gravel pits Number 3 The one off steele and 78th Fish the rocks With a slip weight and bobber And throw a leach on and run them 4-8” off the bottom Catching 24-28” wally’s early AM or a hour before they close the gates Tight lines fella’s
It was actually 5.96 and was weighed on video, but cool story, bro. Always love when guys who probably fish 1 day a week try to tell me what my fish weigh. 😂🖕🏻

It’s close to Denver just north of north east Denver
It’s kinda hard to get to off the bike path right next to the platte
I go down there and only see bike riders passing by
I stop at BILL’S live bait on Washington and 62nd-61stish (lol)
Right before the train tracks before 58th and Washington
But go there an shut a dozen of leaches for $5.95
And a dozen on minnows for $3.95
Got all types of lives and cut baits
Need line he got it
Little tiny weights up to a pound lead sinkers for them good ol wipers iykyk
But run a slip bobber down 20” to a leach
Hook ‘em right under the sucker and they stay alive
When pull em out of the water they curl up like a rollie pollie
And when they hit that water
They open and stretch out liek 4-6” long and wiggle like a bad outta hell
Them bass can’t control them self like a base head around baking soda and cocacola
Also do very well on the walleye at the gravel pits
Number 3
The one off steele and 78th
Fish the rocks
With a slip weight and bobber
And throw a leach on and run them 4-8” off the bottom
Catching 24-28” wally’s early AM or a hour before they close the gates
Tight lines fella’s
Any striped bass up in these parts? Just moved here from Nevada
We have plenty of lakes with wiper, but the only spot I know that has striped bass is John Martin Res. 🎣
Jackson reservoir and north sterling reservoir..!!
What ponds where those? I’m just south of Denver and I’m looking to rip lips!
City park & wash park 🎣
South of Denver, fish the Chatfield Ponds, north of 470, 1 exit east of Wadsworth. Largemouths, smallmouth, and trout.
I'm going to college in Denver. Can I learn to fish with you?
Was the last lake, Rocky Mountain lake?
Sloan’s 😉😉
