Chatfield Reservoir
The walleye fishing is good near the outlet. And the walleye bag limit is three:18 inches long, with one of those over 21 inches. The bass fishing is picking up, as the lake temperature increases and the bass bag limit is five, 15 inches long. The trout fishing is good at the Gravel Ponds, and the North Ramp Cove. Trout bag limit is four, any size.  The carp are spawning in the shallows, making for great bow fishing opportunities.  Vehicles can only park in designated parking areas. Chumming is prohibited, and strictly enforced!

Quincy Reservoir
The largemouth bass spawn is in full swing and they can be seen cruising the shallows or on beds. Popular ways to catch these bedding fish is by spotting their bed and casting crawfish colored jigs or blue gill colored swim baits past their beds for the best results. The trout fishing has also picked up with black and green wooly buggers producing the most bites. The smallmouth bass fishing has also been good along the dam with plastic baits.
