Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 14:55 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

Fishing Overview Broomfield

Fishing in Broomfield, Colorado centers around a network of easily accessed community ponds, open space lakes, and small reservoirs that fish well for both trout and warmwater species. Most spots are a short walk from parking, making them ideal for quick after-work sessions, youth anglers, and beginner-friendly trips that still offer chances at quality bass, catfish, and stocked trout.

Across Broomfield’s ponds, seasonal patterns are straightforward. In late winter and early spring, rainbow trout are the headliners after cold-water stockings, cruising close to shore on sunny afternoons. As water warms in May and June, largemouth bass move shallow to spawn around rocks, cattails, and man‑made structure, followed by a strong bluegill and sunfish bite into midsummer. Catfish activity peaks on warm evenings from June through September, while fall brings a second prime trout window as water temperatures slide back into the 50s and low 60s.

Broomfield anglers work three main habitat types: manicured park ponds like those at Broomfield County Commons and Josh’s Pond, slightly larger reservoirs such as Tom Frost, and more natural-feeling open space water at Metzger Farm. Look for riprap shorelines, points, drain inlets, submerged weed edges, and any downed timber or brush. Even small, featureless ponds often have subtle drop-offs near aerators, outlet structures, or along the dam face that concentrate fish.

For trout, focus on mornings and late afternoons, especially right after recent stocking. Light spinning gear with 4–6 lb line excels. Productive approaches include small inline spinners, 1/16–1/8 oz spoons, or a simple bait rig with dough baits, salmon eggs, or nightcrawlers suspended under a bobber. Fan-cast along the windblown shore; trout frequently stack where surface chop pushes food and scent.

Largemouth bass respond well to compact lures that cover water efficiently from shore. Try weightless soft-plastic stickbaits, 3–4 inch swimbaits, small spinnerbaits, or finesse jigs worked along the first breakline off the bank. In spring, target the backs of coves and calm corners; in summer, shade becomes critical, so focus on docks, overhanging trees, and deeper edges near the dam. Downsizing to lighter line and smaller profiles pays off in these pressured urban waters.

Panfish (bluegill, green sunfish, pumpkinseed, and crappie) provide constant action in Broomfield ponds. A small bobber with a size 8–12 hook tipped with a piece of worm fished 1–3 feet down is hard to beat. Sight-fishing around visible weedbeds, culverts, and shallow rock is effective, especially for kids. When crappie are present, tiny marabou jigs or tube jigs worked slowly along the edge of deeper water produce numbers.

For channel catfish and carp, concentrate efforts at dusk, after dark, and during low-light, windy conditions. Cast bait rigs near deeper holes, drop-offs by the dam, or where storm drains enter the pond. Use stout hooks and 8–12 lb line; chicken liver, cut bait, prepared stink baits, or nightcrawlers attract catfish, while dough baits, corn, or bread work for carp. Keep rods secure and drags set properly—catfish and carp in these modest ponds can still deliver hard runs.

Because most Broomfield lakes are small, subtle tactical adjustments make a big difference. Approach quietly, avoid casting shadows over the shallows, and rotate through several ponds during a day to find the best bite. Matching lure size to the abundant small forage and downsizing line in clear water significantly boosts hookups, helping you take full advantage of Broomfield’s convenient, high-success urban fishing opportunities.
