Fishing Report

March 26, 2024

Welcome to the North Park Anglers’ fishing report!

Hello, and welcome to the 2024 Fishing season in North Park! Spring is just around the corner, and we’re gearing up for another summer of fishing. Currently, there are 16 inches of ice on Delaney Buttes and Lake John, but the warmer weather has started to melt off the valley. However, colder temperatures overnight are keeping the cap on all the local lakes, and the local streams are still covered in ice. We don’t expect to have any fishable water in the area for another two weeks. We’ll officially open the shop during the first week of April and will be open every day until the end of October.
