Cool video, very interesting to see how the winter stockings are done.Why doesn't the CPW do more to promote the warm water fisheries that we have here in CO? I know the survey of 4k license holders a couple years ago said trout are the most pursued fish, but what do you expect when half (I think it was half) the people surveyed were from out of state...and we have these wonderful mountains that people like to vacation in? You do a wonderful job of creating and managing our trophy trout waters in the mountains and the walleye operations at Chatfield and Cherry Creek provide a ton of opportunities. But what about the trophy opportunities for Bass, Catfish, and all the other warm water species? What is being done to support, enhance, and create trophy opportunities for the warm water fish? I know that CPW has made a couple of regulation changes to a couple of lakes for them but the outward view is that there is no effort and that you would rather put "catchable" stocker rainbows in every lake, river and mudhole in the state.
Thank you for all that you do.
Headed there tomorrow. Anybody been up there recently and willing to share what was working and what wasn't?
Love the Video! CDOW Rocks!

That was cool! :)
They need to make 11 mile results and spinney Mountain Reservoir all catch and release only. If not that that only allow them to keep 1 under 14".
