Thanks Mike-

I guess I never realized that was the Colorado River that flows into Columbine Bay. As I read the regulations, that entire waterway is then closed to fishing from Oct. 15 through December 31.

You had me scared there for a minute theangler, I thought you mean the whole colorado river including the section I fish around glenwood spgs. At least it is closed and for good reason too.
