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. Back to fishing home page.
Our sandy beaches provide a gathering spot for young and old alike. Lifeguards are stationed at the beach for your safety. Swimming is allowed during posted hours only.
