Preserving Quincy Reservoir wildlife

The Quincy Reservoir maintains firm guidelines for anglers who frequent its shores. Artificial flies and lures are the only permitted bait to reduce fish mortality rates. Additionally, the reservoir requires a paid pass for March through October and closed for the winter season.

Colorado is a great place for everyone. I love it. Having the mountains so close creates a culture of outdoor-loving people as well as an overall healthier community. We've seen a lot of growth here over the past few years, people from all over the country moving here to enjoy the Colorado life. Overall the climate is also great. Some cold and/or hot spells here and there, but overall very stable seasons.

Traffic very bad at certain times of day, and there seems to always be construction going on.
