Fish Before They Vanish | Denver News

Colorado Parks and Wildlife is throwing open the lakes—literally—because of a brutal drought and soaring heat. With reservoirs like Daigre down to just 1/6th of last year’s levels, officials are issuing emergency “salvage orders,” letting you catch as many fish as you want before the water vanishes. This is the eighth such order this summer, as half the state battles severe drought fueled by a tiny snowpack and relentless heat. CPW wants anglers to help harvest fish before entire fisheries disappear, while some reservoirs are being drained for water or irrigation. Don’t wait—these unlimited fishing spots, including Banner Lakes and Douglas Reservoir, are drying up fast, and closures are looming elsewhere. Grab your gear now: it’s your last chance to fish while helping save what’s left. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
