About Lake Nighthorse
Lake Nighthorse, in Colorado, United States, is the kind of lake where a careful approach pays off. Shore anglers do well casting parallel to the bank along reed lines and overhanging trees, where ambush predators wait. Boat anglers can fan-cast points and submerged humps — anywhere the bottom changes depth quickly. Lure choice at Lake Nighthorse usually mirrors the local forage: small baitfish imitations in spring, larger profiles through summer.

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 Kokanee salmon
Use a dodger ahead of your lure to add flash and vibration, attracting kokanee from a distance.
- For Brown trout
When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.
