Warm Weather Fishing in February?! Quail Lake Colorado Springs

70 degrees in Colorado… in February?! I had to go fishing

Colorado weather delivered a surprise on February 9, 2026 — a stunning 70-degree day in the middle of winter — so it was the perfect excuse to grab the fishing gear and head to Quail Lake in Colorado Springs.

Quail Lake is a hidden gem for local anglers, known for rainbow trout, largemouth bass, and seasonal fishing opportunities. With calm water, beautiful Front Range views, and easy shoreline access, it’s also a great spot for walking, kayaking, paddle boarding, and enjoying the outdoors.

Days like this don’t happen often in February, and when they do, you don’t question it — you go fishing.

Whether you’re a seasoned angler or just looking for a peaceful place to spend a warm Colorado afternoon, Quail Lake continues to prove that great fishing days can show up when you least expect them.
