Rain, Ramps & the Harvest Moon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
OpeningFall has finally shown up, and we’ll take it. The cooler weather and rain over the past week have been a blessing for our lakes. Water temperatures in the Denver-area lakes are starting to drop into the 60s, and the fish are noticing.Some of the best news came from the south. Heavy pockets of rain around Parker helped Cherry Creek, raising the lake just over a foot. That’s enough to extend the boating season there by at least another couple of weeks, which is a big deal in a year when we’

This Week on the WaterCooler nights are finally moving in, and that’s good news if you’ve been fighting overgrown weeds all summer. We’re looking at a couple of nights dropping into the 40s this week, and that’s going to start knocking back some of that vegetation that’s been choking out the ponds.

Once Labor Day passes, crowds start thinning out on the rivers and lakes, and the cooler temps get fish putting on the fall feed bag. The 10-day forecast is backing that up too, with highs settling into the 80s and nights dropping into the 50s — exactly the pattern that kicks fall fishing into gear.Before we get there, though, one more crowded weekend to get through.

Read excerpt
This Week on NoCo Fishing NewsA few rain storms rolled through this week and gave some moisture that helped lake levels across the Front Range — every drop helps right now. There’s a chance we could see more rain move through this weekend if it hits the right areas it could be a big help, so keep an eye on the forecast. Beyond that, we’re staying warm, with 90-degree temps expected to stick around for most of next week.Get ready for holiday traffic at the lakes starting Thursday — Labor Day week
