Park County Fishing Report

I heard spinney has some.

Hiked around and fished Jefferson Lake today with the pups. Lots of fish! Too many sub-catchables (less than 6"). good dry flay action near the inlet when the wind allowed.

Hey PF,

Thought you would find this site interesting.

Already in one of my Favorites, but thanks.

Water release from Cheesman lowers South Platte temp and stress on fish. Don't fish catch & release when temps get to warm!!

According to an emergency regulation approved by the Colorado Wildlife Commission in 2002, a trout fishing closure can be enacted whenever any of the following criteria are met:

* Daily maximum water temperatures exceed 74 degrees Fahrenheit, or the daily average temperature exceeds 72 degrees.
* Measured stream flows are 25 percent of the historical average flow for the time period in question.
* Fish condition is deteriorating such that fungus and other visible signs of deterioration may be present.
* Daily minimum dissolved oxygen levels are below 5 parts per million.
* When a natural or man-caused environmental event such as a wildfire, mudslide, oil spill or similar occurrence results in the need for recovery time or remedial action for a fish population.

Good info. I hope Sept and Oct. Should will be great. I have not been out there for a while.

I did not know that water got that warm in the river.

FYI

The lake at Pine Valley Ranch was stocked this past week.

Evergreen Lake stocked last week.

Evergreen Lake stocked for final time of the season in the past 2 weeks. Not much pressure lately and it looks like the cormorants have left for the year.

I love that lake. It has been awful around here.
