Timnath Reservoir Fish Salvage | Denver News

Timnath, Colorado, is racing against time as its reservoir plunges toward record lows, risking a massive fish kill by summer’s end. To combat the crisis, officials have launched a “salvage fishing” program starting July 13—any licensed angler can keep as many fish as they catch, no limits. Designed to prevent wasted life and protect water quality, the initiative taps into the reservoir’s agricultural roots, where water must be released for farmers. Locals like Charles Evenson, fishing with his kids, see it as both a practical solution and a stark reminder of Northern Colorado’s worsening drought. With the reservoir expected to hit its lowest point in September, the town hopes this bold move will turn disaster into resourceful action.
