About Dillon Reservoir
Tucked into Colorado, United States, Dillon Reservoir is a reservoir that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Dillon Reservoir should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a reservoir like this down for a day.

Fishing Techniques
- For Rainbow trout
Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
- For Brown trout
When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.
- For Kokanee salmon
Use a dodger ahead of your lure to add flash and vibration, attracting kokanee from a distance.
