Jackson Lake State Park and CPW join national campaign to raises awareness of dangers associated with boating under the influence As part of the annual Operation Dry Water campaign, Jackson Lake State Park and Colorado Parks and Wildlife will join in the nationally coordinated effort to educate boaters about the dangers of boating while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Have a fish you are proud of? Share your photo! Email [email protected] and put “Catch of the Week” in the subject line Conditions Report – Metro Aurora Reservoir This 762-acre impoundment is located off E. Quincy Avenue, two miles east of E-470. Open to boating. Electric trolling motors only. As of 6/26/2019, trout fishing is slow to fair from shore. Boaters are reporting fair to good success on trout trolling with lures and fishing with crawlers off the bottom in 20-25’ of water. Walleye action has been slow to fair. A few reports of smallmouth and largemouth bass being caught off the points and in the coves using soft plastics, flies and swim baits. For more information call 303-326-8425. Park hours June 5:00am-9:30pm. Restricted to electric motors only. Aurora Reservoir Chatfield Reservoir This 1,356-acre impoundment is located in Chatfield State Park. As of 6/27/2019, water temperature is 66 degrees. Smallmouth bass are being caught throughout the lake on a variety of presentations. Some of the best presentations are tube jigs or artificial creature baits. Walleye are being caught on most of the lakes shallow structures from 6 to 15 feet deep. Anglers are having success pulling live bait rigs, or jigging. Nightcrawlers seem to be the best bait to put on a jig. Chatfield Reservoir Cherry Creek This 881-acre impoundment is located in Cherry Creek State Park, in Aurora. There are two entrances to the park, the east entrance off S. Dayton St. and the west entrance off S. Parker Rd., As of 6/26/2019, the water temperatures still have not reached 70 degrees which is keeping the fishing good. The fish are relatively scattered throughout the reservoir still. Live bait rigging has still been one of the better techniques as well as jigging with blade baits. Cherry Creek Reservoir Quincy Reservoir As of 6/26/2019, bass fishing continues to be good but the fishing is getting tougher with the weed growth and algae blooms occurring in this reservoir. Anglers have reported some success fishing with topwater lures as well as spinnerbaits that can be fished above the vegetation. Smallmouth bass have been caught along the dam using jigs. This body of water is restricted to artificial flies and lures only. Only watercraft capable of being launched by hand are permitted. For more information call 303-326-8424. Park hours for June are 5:00am to 9:30pm. Quincy Reservoir COLORADO PARKS & WILDLIFE ▪ 1313 Sherman St., Denver, CO 80203 ▪ (303) 297-1192 ▪ cpw.state.co.us Conditions Report - Northeast Colorado Antero Reservoir As of 6/23/2019, anglers are still catching some decent fish however reports of the real brutes in this lake have been few and far between recently. A variety of flies have been working, everything from small scuds up to larger streamers for the more aggressive fish. Anglers have also had success fishing with PowerBait along the bottom. Weed growth is making fishing very far below the surface challenging. Antero Reservoir Boyd Lake As of 6/22/2019, water temperatures are in the high 60’s and approaching 70 degrees. With the warm water fishing for most of the warmwater species present here has really improved. Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass are both being caught consistently on jigs, artificial worms, and sometimes topwater baits. The walleye bite has also been good with most anglers having the most success on the south end of the reservoir using jigs with paddletail swimbaits along the bottom. White bass action is also rated as good with Kastmasters being productive on the north end of the lake. Boyd Lake Cheesman Reservoir As of 6/26/2019, the lake is full and water temperatures are increasing. Anglers targeting smallmouth bass with streamers have been very successful. Anglers are also reporting some success catching larger pike in the shallow portions of the reservoir. Trout have been caught on a variety of lures including inline spinners such as Mepps. Anglers targeting trout using bait are having the most luck on nightcrawlers or PowerBait with the bait suspended about 1 foot off the bottom. Cheesman Reservoir Deckers and Cheesman Canyon As of 6/28/2019, flows have significantly increased throughout the week (mid 200’s) to right around 576CFS. With increasing flow, look for fish near the banks and any pockets. Dry fly action has been inconsistent as of late and with increased flows anglers will have best luck with nymphing rigs. With high water take extra precaution when wading. Flows: 718 CFS (6/28/2019) Deckers and Cheesman Canyon Eleven Mile Reservoir As of 6/27/2019, water temperatures are being reported around 56 degrees. Trout fishing is great it is more like late spring than early summer and the bite is on. Action is non-stop from the boat. Shore action is good but takes a little more effort. Power Bait, any color with garlic. We also have garlic nightcrawlers that work well with a mallow. Trolling is non-stop action.

These species are managed in the Atlantic Ocean, including the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) under the authority of the Secretary of Commerce, with consideration for the domestic and international aspects of these fisheries. Management of these species is outlined in the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan (2006 Consolidated HMS FMP) and its amendments. NOAA Fisheries frequently modifies the regulations to meet fishery management goals and requirements. This guide is intended to provide a plain language summary of how to comply with the HMS regulations for Atlantic tunas, swordfish, sharks, and billfishes. Important regulatory changes and corrections since previous versions of the Compliance Guide were published include, but are not limited to: Effective Date Description of Change October 2018 Measurement of Bigeye and Yellowfin Tuna Damaged through Predation by Sharks and Other Marine Species: If a bigeye and/or yellowfin tuna carcass has been damaged (i.e., bitten) by a shark or another marine species, it may be retained and landed if the remainder of the fish meets the minimum size of 27 inches (69 cm). No tissue may be cut away from or other alterations made to the damaged area of the fish.

  • BLACK BOX "Positive Voltage Control" the Scotty Black Box - How & Why There Has Been Much Research Into the Concept of Using Electricity to Catch Fish
    FISHING, MARINE & OUTDOOR PRODUCTS BLACK BOX "Positive Voltage Control" The Scotty Black Box - How & Why There has been much research into the concept of using electricity to catch fish. Commercial fishing vessels have been using Black Box technology for years and now recreational fishermen are tapping into this resource. The 20 foot Load Black Box has proven to be very Line & effective in trolling, mooching, Connector jigging and more. The purpose of Sleeve this publication is to explain why. Fish & Electricity No. 1201 Russian scientists first discovered Black Box that bony and cartilaginous fish respond to the presence of electricity in the water. Many species use electric signals to communicate, some repel predators with it and others use electricity to navigate. Salmon, among others, are attracted to a positive charge and repelled by a negative charge. By maintaining a steady and appropriate positive charge on your downrigger wire, it is possible to attract fish and keep them interested in your lures. The Black Box does this in both salt and fresh water. Electrolysis To understand the Black Box, one must first understand the principle of electrolysis. This process is also known as galvanic action. Metals are ranked according to how strongly they react with other metals. The lower they are on the galvanic scale (or the less "noble") the more strongly they react. When dissimilar metals are placed in an electrolytic solution, electricity flows between them (basically: a battery) and corrosion occurs. The difference in nobility, or ranking, of metals determines how much electricity will be generated. Zinc, which is very low in nobility, is used in sacrificial anodes on boats to prevent corrosion of metal parts because it will corrode long before other metals.
