Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 14:53 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 Littleton

Fishing in Littleton, CO centers on the South Platte River and a network of productive reservoirs, giving anglers both coldwater and warmwater options close to Denver. The key waters are Chatfield Reservoir and its tailwater, Marston Reservoir (limited access), and a patchwork of park ponds scattered through the south metro area. Understanding the seasonal movements of trout, walleyes, bass, and panfish is the fastest way to consistent action.

Seasonal patterns start with late-winter and early-spring walleyes and trout. At Chatfield, prespawn walleyes stage on rocky points and riprap as soon as ice leaves; work 1/4–3/8 oz jig-and-minnow or jig-and-plastic combos slowly along the bottom in low light. The South Platte through town and below Chatfield fishes well for rainbow and brown trout on small nymphs and jerkbaits as flows stabilize. Spring also brings crappie and smallmouth into shallow rocky coves and flooded brush; tiny jigs under a float or 2–3" swimbaits shine.

Summer is prime warmwater season. Walleyes slide deeper onto main-lake humps and breaklines in 15–30 feet; vertical jigging, bottom-bouncers with live bait, and slow-trolled crankbaits are top producers. Smallmouth bass hold tight to chunk rock and riprap along the dam and roadbeds—throw 3–4" tubes, Ned rigs, and small jerkbaits. Panfish and stocked trout in city ponds and marina areas respond to simple presentations: nightcrawlers, PowerBait, or small marabou jigs under slip bobbers.

Fall brings another strong window as water cools and baitfish bunch up. Walleyes and wipers chase shad on windswept points and shorelines; cast lipless crankbaits and paddletails into surface activity. Browns in the river color up and get more aggressive toward streamers and larger spinners worked near structure. Carp prowling the shallows in clear coves can be sight-fished with small nymph patterns or pieces of corn on light line for a local big-fish challenge.

In winter, open water often remains below dams and in deeper sections of reservoirs. The South Platte tailwater can fish well with tiny midges, eggs, and small jigs on ultralight gear. When safe ice forms on regional lakes, focus on first- and last-light bites for trout, perch, and panfish; small tungsten jigs tipped with waxworms or plastics are standard.

Habitat and tactics vary sharply between the moving water and stillwater around Littleton. On the South Platte, target seams, undercut banks, and deeper holes. Light fluorocarbon, small hooks, and subtle presentations catch more pressured trout. In reservoirs, use electronics or a mapping app to find depth changes, submerged roadbeds, and rock piles; fish edges rather than featureless flats.

Commonly productive lures and rigs include 1/8–3/8 oz jigs with plastics, #5–#9 jerkbaits, small inline spinners, and simple slip-bobber rigs with leeches or worms. Fly anglers do well with midges, pheasant tails, and small streamers in the river, plus buggers and leeches in ponds. By matching tactics to season—shallow and slow in spring and fall, deeper and more mobile in summer—Littleton anglers can tap into consistent multi-species action all year.
