Looking for a solid day on the water without the crowds? This private guided fishing trip on Boyd Lake puts you right where the action is. Joe's been working these waters for years, and he knows exactly where to find the bass, walleye, and white bass that make Boyd Lake a local favorite. Whether you're planning a 4-hour morning session or want to spend the full 8 hours chasing fish, this trip is designed for 1-2 anglers who want personalized attention and consistent action.
Boyd Lake sits in the heart of Loveland, Colorado, offering 1,700 acres of prime fishing water with stunning mountain views as your backdrop. This isn't some overfished tourist spot – it's a legitimate fishery that produces year-round. Joe brings all the rods, reels, and tackle you'll need, so you can focus on fishing instead of gear prep. That said, if you've got a lucky rod or favorite setup, bring it along. The lake's structure varies from shallow flats perfect for bass to deeper channels where walleye cruise. You'll cover water efficiently while learning the lake's secrets from someone who's fished it in every season and condition. Morning trips often start around sunrise when the bite is hot, while afternoon sessions let you sleep in and still get quality fishing time.
Boyd Lake fishing calls for versatility, and Joe's got the approach dialed in. For bass, you'll work everything from topwater lures in the shallows to jigs and soft plastics around structure. The lake has plenty of submerged timber and rock piles that hold fish, so expect to throw crankbaits and spinnerbaits to cover water quickly. When targeting walleye, the game shifts to finesse – think jigging spoons, live bait rigs, and precise presentations along drop-offs. White bass fishing here can be absolutely wild when they're schooled up and feeding, with fast-action techniques like small jigs and blade baits producing non-stop action. Joe reads the water and adjusts tactics based on weather, season, and what the fish are telling him. You'll learn proven local patterns that work specifically on Boyd Lake, not generic techniques that might work anywhere.
Largemouth Bass are the lake's headliners, with fish regularly pushing 3-5 pounds and the occasional giant breaking that mark. They love the rocky shorelines and submerged timber, especially during spring and fall when they're actively feeding. These bass fight hard in Boyd Lake's clear water, making long runs and putting on aerial shows. The cooler water keeps them energetic year-round, unlike bass in warmer climates that get sluggish.
Smallmouth Bass might be the most fun fish in the lake pound-for-pound. They average 2-3 pounds but fight like fish twice their size, jumping and bulldogging with serious attitude. Summer and early fall are prime time for smallies, when they're roaming the rocky areas and deeper structure. They're also more aggressive than largemouth here, often hitting lures with authority that'll surprise you.
White Bass provide the fast action that keeps your rod bent and adrenaline pumping. When schools are feeding, you can catch them as fast as you can drop a lure. They run 1-2 pounds typically, but what they lack in size they make up for in numbers and fight. Spring and fall see the best white bass action, though summer evenings can produce surprise feeding frenzies that create memories for life.
Walleye are the table-fare champions of Boyd Lake, with most fish running 15-20 inches of pure eating quality. They're more challenging to locate and catch, requiring patience and proper technique, but the payoff is worth it. Early morning and evening hours are prime walleye time, especially during cooler months. These fish provide steady, determined fights and are prized for their flaky white meat that tastes incredible fresh from Colorado's clean mountain water.
Boyd Lake delivers consistent fishing action in a setting that beats any office view. Joe's local knowledge and provided gear eliminate the guesswork, letting you focus on what matters – catching fish and enjoying Colorado's outdoors. Whether you're looking to improve your bass techniques, experience the excitement of schooling white bass, or put some fresh walleye on the dinner table, this trip provides the perfect opportunity. The flexible 4-8 hour options mean you can fit quality fishing into any schedule. Just grab your Colorado fishing license, bring the park entry fee, and get ready for a day on the water that reminds you why people move to Colorado in the first place.

This 2022 17' Tracker bass boat is your ticket to prime fishing spots across Boyd Lake's waters. Built for serious anglers, she's equipped with a wireless trolling motor that lets you drift silently into those perfect casting positions without spooking the bass. The 75HP Mercury gets you moving at a solid 35 knots when you need to cover water quickly, whether you're chasing schools of white bass or heading to your favorite walleye structure. The onboard fish finder takes the guesswork out of locating fish-holding cover and drop-offs that Boyd Lake is known for.

With room for up to 2 anglers plus your guide, there's plenty of space to work multiple rods without getting tangled up. The shallow-draft design means you can get into those productive back bays where the largemouth like to hang out. Perfect for working the shoreline structure or drifting over deeper points where the smallmouth cruise.
Micropterus SalmoidesThese green giants are the crown jewel of Boyd Lake, running 12-24 inches and packing serious attitude. They love hanging around sunken timber, weed edges, and rocky drop-offs in 5-15 feet of water. Spring through fall offers the best action, especially during low-light periods when they're actively hunting. What makes largemouths special is their explosive strike and bulldogging fight - they'll jump, run, and test your drag. Plus, they're decent table fare when handled right. The key here at Boyd is targeting those deeper weed lines with Texas-rigged soft plastics. Work them slow and be ready - when a big largemouth hits, you'll know it. Their oversized mouths can inhale surprisingly large baits, so don't be afraid to upsize your offering.
Micropterus DolomieuBoyd's smallmouth bass are bronze fighters that punch way above their weight class. These 12-18 inch scrapper prefer rocky areas, points, and drop-offs in clear water. They're most active in spring and fall when water temps are moderate, moving deeper during hot summer months. What sets smallies apart is their incredible fight - they'll jump repeatedly and make long runs that'll test your tackle. They're also excellent table fare with firm, sweet meat. Early morning and evening produce the best results, especially on calm days. The trick at Boyd is using smaller presentations - tube jigs, drop shots, and small crankbaits work great. Fish them slowly around rocky structure and hang on tight when they hit.
Sander VitreusBoyd's walleye are the ultimate prize fish - golden-sided beauties with marble eyes that typically run 15-20 inches. These nocturnal hunters spend daylight hours in deeper water around 15-25 feet, relating to rock piles and drop-offs. They move shallow at dawn and dusk to feed. Spring and fall provide the most consistent action, though summer evenings can be dynamite. Walleye are prized for their delicate, buttery white fillets - hands down the best eating fish in the lake. They're also notorious for their light bite, so stay sharp. The secret at Boyd is slow-trolling live minnows or jigs tipped with crawlers along the deeper contours. Keep your drag light and set the hook gently - their mouths are softer than bass.
Morone ChrysopsBoyd's white bass are scrappy silver bullets that travel in schools and put up a serious fight for their 10-14 inch size. These silvery fish with dark horizontal stripes prefer open water and suspend at various depths, especially around points and humps. Late spring and early summer are prime time when they're most active and aggressive. What guests love about white bass is their willingness to bite and their surprising strength - they'll bend your rod and make drag sing. They're also some of the best eating fish in the lake with firm, flaky white meat. When you find one, there's usually more nearby, so work the area thoroughly. My tip: small white or chartreuse jigs bounced along the bottom near structure work wonders.
