Waters in the streams have cooled down and anglers can fish again throughout the day. “We want to thank those who honored the voluntary closures,” said John Alves, senior aquatic biologist for CPW’s Southwest Region. “We know it’s tough to curtail fishing activity, but we also know that anglers know the importance of helping sustain Colorado’s trout populations.” Stocking cutthroat trout by airplane into Colorado’s mountain lakes Colorado Parks and Wildlife is stocking its alpine lakes in the northern half of the state, which there are 330 selected to receive roughly 380,000 trout dropped from the sky this year. ..70,000 of the fish – 65,000 cutthroat trout and 5,000 golden trout – took off Wednesday from Granby Airport and were air-dropped into the pristine high-elevation lakes in Boulder, Grand, Jackson and Larimer counties.

Invasive mussels knocking on Colorado's door prompts Highline Lake to revise boat ramp rules Beginning April 1, Colorado Parks and Wildlife will lock the boat ramp each evening at Highline Lake State Park, or when Aquatic Nuisance Species inspectors are not available. The new rule is in response to the growing threat posed to Colorado's water by the few boaters suspected of illegally launching their watercraft without the required aquatic nuisance species inspection. Anglers can provide input at two CPW 'State of the Fish" meetings in Summit, Grand counties In continuing efforts to engage the public in constructive conversations, Colorado Parks and Wildlife will hold two 'State of the Fish' gatherings in Summit and Grand County later this month. Agency biologists and managers will be available to answer questions about the current status of local fisheries, and future management plans.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado: SECTION 1. Legislative declaration. (1) The general assembly hereby finds and declares that: (a) The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased state parks usage, against a backdrop of growth in recent years, as Colorado residents seek outdoor and socially distanced activities.

Capital letters or bold & italic numbers indicate new material added to existing law; dashes through words or numbers indicate deletions from existing law and such material is not part of the act. (b) Accelerating the development of Fishers Peak State Park and improving amenities at eleven other state parks will relieve pressure from such high usage and prepare for future demand. SECTION 2. In Colorado Revised Statutes, 24-75-302, amend (2)(kk) and (2)(11); and add (2)(mm) as follows: 24-75-302. Capital construction fund - capital assessment fees - calculation - information technology capital account.
