WAWindy AI 08 July 2026Lower Turquoise Lake is a high-elevation reservoir near Leadville, Colorado, at over 9,800 feet elevation, offering cold-water fishing for rainbow trout, brown trout, and kokanee salmon in a stunning mountain setting. It is part of the Turquoise Lake Recreation Area managed by the U.S. Forest Service and is one of the most scenic and productive high-altitude fishing lakes in the Colorado Rockies. Spot Features: Lower Turquoise Lake is a high-elevation reservoir near Leadville, Colorado, in Lake County, managed by USACE and CPW. Rainbow and brown trout are targeted by trolling spoons and Rapalas at varying depths, kokanee with small spinners and Wedding Ring rigs trolled near the surface to mid-column. Multiple public boat ramps provide access around the lake. Seasonality: Rainbow trout, brown trout, and kokanee salmon are active at Lower Turquoise Lake from ice-out in late spring through the Colorado summer and into fall. Kokanee are most active in spring and summer before their pre-spawn period in fall. The lake is typically frozen and inaccessible from late fall through spring snowmelt. The open-water season runs approximately June through October.
