Located in Adams County, Aurora Resevoir is best to fish during the the early hours of the morning or late hours of the evening. You really need to keep an eye on the temperature of the water as the fish here tend to move deeper into the reservoir the higher the temp gets. During the summer time, the only way you are going to catch somthing big is with a bottom bouncer looking for fish in the 40-50 foot plus water.

Currently the big catch right now are rainbow trout as an estimate of about 76,000 of these fish were stocked in 2000. On any given day you can find rainbow in the sizes between 18-22". Power baiting above the weeds is also a very effective method for catching these fish. If you looking for fish in shallow areas, make sure you get to the lake right when the gates open or right before the lake closes. Once the sunlight hits the reservoir, most fish tend to swim down to the deeper areas where it is dark and colder. Once you have found a good fishing area, make sure to try vertical jigging with a grub or curly tail.

Walleyes feed on perch between the marina and Senac coves. Usually you will find them attached to the bottom of the lake so your best bet would be to use a bottom bouncer. Keep your speed to a minimum (under 1mph) and use a 2-hook worm harness. These fish are very light sensitve so unless you are there early in the morning, you will be digging for these guys on the floor of the lake.
