Okay folks! Here's your chance to ask the DOW about your favorite fisheries and fish!
DENVER, Colo. - The Colorado Division of Wildlife invites local anglers to participate in "Angler Roundtable" meetings throughout northeastern Colorado this spring.
These public forums give anglers a chance to hear the latest information affecting their favorite fishing in waters around northern Colorado, and ask DOW fishery biologists questions about new places they haven't tried yet.
"Anglers in the northeastern region face some interesting challenges, as well as excellent opportunities," said Ken Kehmeier, Senior Fisheries Biologist for the Northeast Region. "These angler roundtables really give us a chance to meet with our bosses--the public who fish these waters."
Over the past few weeks, regional fishery biologists completed their annual forecasts of the best bets for fishing on lakes and streams in 2009. Topics will include bait fish collection and use, fish stocking plans, fishing regulations, zebra mussel boating restrictions, water levels, fish population data, fishing access, whirling disease, and any other fishery related issues anglers want to hear about.
People are encouraged to bring questions about their favorite lakes and streams.
The forums are in the following locations:
Denver: Wed., April 8, Hunter Education Building, DOW Headquarters, 6060 Broadway, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
Fort Collins: Mon., April 13, Fort Collins Senior Center, 1200 Raintree Drive, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
Brush: Tues., April 28, DOW Office, 122 East Edison Street, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
