  • Fishing Report
    COLORADO PARKS & WILDLIFE Fishing ReportFishing Regulations Friday March 23rd, 2018 Review News and Information CPW accepts check for $29 million grant from U.S. Department of the Interior Colorado Parks and Wildlife Director Bob Broscheid on Tuesday, March 20, accepted a check for $29 million from the U.S. Department of Interior, declaring the funding “critical to CPW’s efforts for wildlife conservation, research, habitat preservation” as well as for supporting hunting and fishing programs. 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. Go fish! 2018 fishing licenses are available now, valid beginning April 1 Colorado Parks and Wildlife reminds anglers that it's time to get ready for another season of fishing. Coloradans and non-resident visitors can purchase a 2018 annual fishing license now either online, at your local CPW office or at any of our hundreds of authorized sales agents statewide.
