From the DOW website today:
[font "Arial"]The Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOW) and the Denver Water Board (DWB) announce the anticipated re-opening of Antero Reservoir. Anglers will be able to fish starting at 9:00 AM, Tuesday, July 17, 2007. Anglers should also be aware of special trout bag limits for Antero.
Fishing regulations:

[ul] [li]Can be found at the Denver Water Board site at: [url "http://www.water.denver.co.gov/"]http://www.water.denver.co.gov/[/url][/li][/ul]In addition to the opening of Antero Reservoir, there is a new channel of the south fork of the South Platte that will be open on the DWB property. This water can be fished using artificial fly and lures only and all trout must be returned to the water immediately.
After closing in 2002, Antero was re-stocked with brown trout, rainbow trout, brook trout, cutthroat trout and splake in 2006.
“We are very confident that anglers will have a great experience at Antero,” said Jeff Spohn, Aquatic Biologist with DOW. “It is, however, a limited capacity site, so anyone looking for prime Colorado fishing should also consider the many other waters we manage in South Park.”
