Fishing the Thomas Reservoir, Erie, Co

Thomas Reservoir is a nice place to get in quick fishing after work.

The reservoir gets stocked a couple times a year with trout.  Best time to catch a trout is within the first few weeks of the stock.  It seems like the trout get fished out quickly.

The reservoir is also a home to bluegill and bass.  Most of these I've seen swim close to the bank.  The bass were all small.

A trail loops around the Thomas Reservoir and allows for easy access. 

Pros:  Easy access

Cons: Heavily fished
           If fly fishing you need to watch out for the in town walkers/joggers as the trail is close to the shore             bank.
