Standley Lake


April 18, 2024

Standley Lake is one of Colorado's premier fishing areas, with a variety of fish species including walleye, trout, bass, catfish, and crappie. Nearby activities include hiking and camping in the Rocky Mountains. To catch the best fish, anglers should use live bait or lures that mimic the lake's natural prey. The best time to visit is in the spring when the water is cooler and the fish are more active. The average temperature during this time is around 60°F.
