I typically go to ponds or the reservoir around my area almost every other day. Where are you located?

Since you won't put your location in your profile and didn't put it in your post, it makes it more difficult to advise a good fishing location for you.

I have always had great luck with fishing @ Skaguay Lake - just past Victor. I ALWAYS catch my limit within an hour (this is the only place I'll practice catch & release - so I can keep fishing). The lake also has pike, but they aren't as large as you'll get at a bigger lake.

Not only do I always catch my limit there, but the landscape is really beautiful as opposed to places like 11-Mile Lake which is just ugly and I never catch anything there (there are really big fish in 11-Mile, but most folks I know don't catch much there).

bass are plentiful everywhere in the denver metro right now, trout are always biting on something.

If your ideal location is to pull something in every few seconds....
Fort Carson has some ponds down range that are heavily stocked.
You will need a state license as well as a Fort Carson license available at the MWR office on Fort Carson.

Particularly North Side Reservoir has abundand small bass. (some as small as 2") Fishing from shore on the west side under the tree, 20-30' off shore a small fly like a mosquito will keep you very, very busy.
It is a great place to teach kids to fish or fly fish. You can catch a fish every 5-10 seconds all day long.

Townsen Reservoir has heavily stocked trout with some older broud stock. Rainbows as larger as 24" can be caught.

Again if catching soemthing every few seconds is your ideal location.
There is also Brush Hollow near Florence.
North of the boat ramp, before the shore starts to turn westerly, in the shallows (under 4' of water) there is again tons of small bass and crappie. There are also some juvinile cats on the bottom. I usually catch fish in the 5-12" range every couple of minutes on worms there. If trout is more your style, the water inlet on the south-east side is full of sitting trout at about 20-22' of water.

If you are looking for keepers, I am NOT you man for info. I don't keep fish, just enjoy catching and releasing.

Good info, thanks.

Anybody have similar info on the Denver Metro Area? I would love somewhere close to teach the girls (5&7) to fish and keep their ever so short attention span focused.

They may have changed it, but back in the mid-90's you had to attend a class to obtain the Ft Carson license. This was mostly to teach folks when and where they could go... to avoid getting shot at by tanks, etc.

The fishing is good at Brush Hollow, but I caution you on two fronts here. One, bring and use plenty of insect repellant. Every time I've fished there the mosquito's have eaten me alive. This is especially true in/around the rocks on the dam side. Secondly, there are rattlesnakes down there! I had a woman from work who didn't notice the rattler that coiled up just a couple of feet front where she was sitting. She was afraid to move. Her husband eventually snuck up and dropped a bowling ball sized rock right on the snakes head. We, (they and I) are a lot more cautious there now.

Lakes are boring.... You did ask for stream fishing for big trout didn't ya? First check out this http://www.coloradofishing.net/ft_slammin.htm and then if your ever around Summit County try the Blue River early morning right in town (Silverthorne) or move down towards Green Mnt. Res. Also check out Roaring Fork, Fryingpan and Fraser. I've caught a few big Browns in the Blue. My brother likes the Colorado up by Kremmling where the Troublesome comes together. Good Fishing !
