FALL HOURS 9am to 6pm Daily
Report Date: 12/3/2025
Current Conditions:
Antero is now capped with about 1 1/2 inches of ice right now. With the forecasted low temps, that should gain fairly fast in the next week or so. Since its the beginning of hardwater season, these reports for this area will switch to all ice fishing. The ice is thin, and its not recommended to go out on it right now. While its taken more time than usual for the ice to form, please wait until safer conditions are present.
Tactics:
Early ice can present some great results, as long as you stay safe. Not quite yet!
Tips:
Always have the proper safety equipment on early ice. And a spud bar is also a great tool to have to test out areas of ice.
Weather:
Short Term- This current storm brought some much needed precipitation to the area. As of the writing of this report, about 5 inches of snow has fallen in this area. This storm will persist through the day and clear out of the area late tonight. Temps will be cold today in the teens and low 20's. Starting on Thursday, we will warm back up a bit and get closer to seasonal averages. This will remain the case clear through the weekend and we will see highs in the 30's and overnight/morning lows will be in the single digits. We could see quite a bit of wind as well as we roll into the weekend.
Long Term- After this weekend, the forecast is somewhat undecided. Right now, it looks like another high pressure system will roll through the area. If this happens, we will warm up quite a bit through next week. In fact, we could see high temps in the 50's and a good bit of sunshine. Morning lows will still get very cold, but the mid day into the afternoons will be beautiful. Longer range forecasts are still all over the place, but we could see some large scale changes by mid month. We are still well below average snowpack levels and need all of the snow we can get. Lets hope we can at least get lined up with some consistent storms this winter.

Antero Reservoir is a shallow reservoir with healthy plant life and more scud shrimp than you can shake a hook at. Because it is so loaded with these protein-rich scuds the trout feed on, their growth rate is significantly higher than fish in most other reservoirs within a reasonable driving distance. So if you have an appetite for catching large and beautifully colored Rainbows and Browns, consider Antero.
This is an area we specialize in and are permitted to guide, so give us a shout if you have any questions or if you are interested in allowing one of our Orvis-Endorsed guides show you how best to conquer Antero Reservoir.
