Mancos State Park and Jackson Gulch Reservoir

On April 16, 5,000 10-inch rainbow trout were stocked in Jackson Gulch Reservoir. Fishing should be great for these newly stocked rainbow trout. Fishing has been good for 10-to-12-inch rainbow trout and 6-to-7-inch yellow perch. Nightcrawlers, earthworms, meal worms, and various powerbaits have been successful for trout and perch. Small inline spinners or small wet flies have also worked well, especially along the dam. Trout like to hang out around the inlet at the no?rth end of the lake. Perch are small, averaging about 6-to-7 inches, but they make good tacos. There is no limit on the number of perch you keep; the daily limit for tr???out is four. The lake level is now just at the bottom of the boat ramp. If you plan to take your boat out, remember that a prelaunch inspection for Aquatic Nuisance Species is required. Contact the park to arrange an inspection. A park pass is required when utilizing the park. Daily park passes are available at the park entrance.
