About Tarryall Reservoir

Tarryall Reservoir, fed by Tarryall Creek, is a popular Colorado fly fishing destination known for its abundant rainbows, browns, and pike. The reservoir offers excellent accessibility with nearly the entire shoreline available for wading and boat launches. Anglers can also find productive fishing in the inlet of Tarryall Creek, which features nice pools and riffles. Key hatches to anticipate include terrestrials, tricos, PMDs, caddis, midges, and BWOs. A 9-foot, 5-weight rod is recommended, and anglers should pack waders for exploring the shallows and creek.
