WATERTON CANYON IS CLOSED UNTIL APRIL 26 FOR FURTHER DREDGING

Waterton is back open to the public after a long closure.  Fishing since opening at the beginning of March has been marginal, mostly due to low water.  There is a bit of concern as to how the work on Strontia Springs Reservoir has effected the quality of the fishing in Waterton, but these concerns have been addressed by the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Department.  We do expect fishing to gain momentum once we start to see more significant flows.  There will be another closure of Waterton later this spring when they remove the dredge from the reservoir.  This closure has not been scheduled yet, we will be sure to inform you when we know more.
