About McPhee Reservoir

Set in Colorado, United States, McPhee Reservoir is a reservoir that holds the typical mix of warm-water and cool-water species you'd expect for the area. Anglers fishing McPhee Reservoir usually focus their effort on transitions: the edges of weed beds, points that stick out into deeper water, and the shaded sides of any inflow.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Smallmouth bass

    Focus your fishing efforts around rocky structures, ledges, and areas with current, as smallmouth bass prefer these habitats.

  • 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.
