Horsetooth Reservoir Fishing Report

Latest Update: 7/5/2026

The topwater bite at Horsetooth has really improved with the summertime heat. Small popper and diver patterns have been the most effective topwater approach. During periods when the surface action slows, fishing small crayfish and baitfish patterns near rocky structure has also been productive.
