Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 14:58 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.

Fishing Overview Greeley

Fishing in Greeley, CO revolves around a mix of prairie reservoirs, municipal lakes, and the South Platte and Cache la Poudre River corridors. The area is best known for warmwater fishing—walleye, bass, catfish, and panfish—supplemented by regular trout stocking in select ponds and nearby foothill waters. Productive local options include river stretches close to town, gravel pits south of Greeley, and public reservoirs scattered through Weld County.

Seasonal patterns are key to consistent success. In early spring, ice-out on local lakes triggers shallow movements of walleye, crappie, and perch. Focus on north-facing shorelines that warm first, using jigs tipped with minnows or soft plastics slowly dragged along the bottom. As water temperatures climb in late spring, smallmouth and largemouth bass move shallow to stage and spawn around riprap, flooded brush, and marina structure. Weightless plastics, small jigs, and suspending jerkbaits excel during this window.

Summer in Greeley brings classic lowland conditions: stained water, aquatic vegetation, and strong insect hatches on the rivers. Early and late in the day, work topwater baits for bass along weed edges and submerged timber. During mid-day heat, slide deeper with Carolina-rigged plastics, drop-shot rigs, and live bait presentations on points and main-lake humps. On the South Platte system, fish current seams, deep outside bends, and riprap banks with crawfish-imitating jigs and crankbaits for smallmouth, catfish, and the occasional walleye.

Fall is arguably the best all-around season near Greeley. Cooling water pushes baitfish shallow, and walleye and bass feed heavily on wind-blown shorelines and rocky points. Slowly worked paddle-tail swimbaits, blade baits, and lipless crankbaits cover water efficiently and draw reaction bites. Panfish school tightly around remaining green weeds and vertical structure; small jigs tipped with worms or soft plastics fished under slip bobbers are extremely effective for crappie and bluegill.

Winter fishing hinges on ice conditions at local ponds and reservoirs. Stable ice can produce excellent panfish and trout action. Target drop-offs, submerged roadbeds, and old creek channels with small tungsten jigs tipped with waxworms or mealworms. For walleye and perch, use low-profile spoons and deadsticks baited with minnows near bottom breaks; subtle jigging strokes often outperform aggressive lifts on these pressured Front Range waters.

Habitat and tactical tips around Greeley focus on reading structure more than clear water. Many lakes are turbid, so prioritize areas with added cover or depth change:

  • Rocky riprap and bridge abutments for smallmouth, walleye, and catfish.
  • Flooded brush, laydowns, and dock pilings for largemouth and crappie.
  • Main-lake points, humps, and channel swings for summer and winter walleye.
  • Softer, silty flats and slow current seams for channel catfish and carp.

Because visibility is often limited, lean on lures that displace water and stand out: rattling crankbaits, bladed jigs, and dark-colored plastics with bulky profiles. In the rivers, upsizing leaders and using abrasion-resistant line helps around rocks and debris. Wind is a constant on the plains; use it to your advantage by targeting windward banks where baitfish get pushed and predators concentrate. Finally, keep a compact selection of jig heads, soft plastics, and small crankbaits in natural shad, craw, and perch tones—these catch nearly everything that swims around Greeley’s lakes and river stretches.
