Where is Jackson Reservoir? Colorado's a big state. Can you please put your location into your profile so we all know where you're at? I don't know a thing about walleye fishing but there are folks on here that do and some are from Colorado, so let them know.

Welcome to the Forum, Elknut. I have never fish walleye in CO. but in MN. it's hard to catch a walleye from shore, maybe at night when they are spanning. Good Luck!

Jackson Lake State Park is located northeast of Orchard, Colorado in western Morgan County, Colorado. It is situated on 2,411-acre (9.76 km 2) Jackson reservoir and was built in the early 20th century. The reservoir receives water from the South Platte River and stores it for irrigation throughout the summer months.

Right now I would say fish near the spillway with jigs or jurk baits, that is what I'm using in southern Mi , fish at sunrise or sunset, during the day fishing will be slow

Lindy rigs with floating crawler harnesses ought to interest whatever may swim by.
Good luck.

2-3 inch hair jigs, to resemble leach, jerk baits,rapalas, rogues ,etc. Fish in the headwaters cast quartering across and down stream. Do not twitch your bait, slowly wind, steady retrieve, let the current create the action. As you are retrieving let the lure swing back in towards the shore. Thats where most of your hits will come from. Remember reel slowly. Use small line, 6-10 #. For jigs THIN amount of hair, but full bodied, shank covered completely. Black, brown, perch pattern, pike pattern , try to imitate the natural bait. REEL SLOW

In Canada we catch tons on leaches under a ridge just past rapid water running into the lake. I also caught a 26 inch off a dock with a minnow. Both on just a 1/4 jig head and 10# monofilament with spin cast. Caught 43 one afternoon in Northern Onterio at Roger Lake. Most 14 to 18 inches. Fly in, off grid for week. Great North Lodge.

Here in Fl the company I retired from has some VIP lakes that they let us fish in once in a while. For bass it is C&R only, a friend of mine and his son caught and released 50 that were from 5 to 14 pounds before noon. They showed me some great pictures. He said they located them with spinner baits and changed to Plastics. I never got to fish in one of those, but it is said that is an average day.
