Fishing
Union Reservoir is fast becoming
one of Colorado's finest Wiper fisheries. Wiper 15 to 26 inches are common.
In recent years, Union Reservoir has become the hotspot for fly fishermen
who enjoy the thrill of catching the hard fighting Wiper. In addition, a healthy
population of Trout, Crappie, Catfish, Bass, Sunfish, Walleye and Tiger Muskie
provide a quality fishing experience. Fishing is available along the majority
of the shoreline or from a boat. Colorado fishing regulations are enforced
and a fishing license is required. A fish cleaning station and handicapped accessible
fishing pier are provided for your convenience.
