NOVEMBER 2021

The upper Colorado River flows into Windy Gap Reservoir inhibiting a healthy ecosystem and a strong fishery, but the Colorado River Connectivity Channel will repair that and reconnect the river for a multitude of benefits.
 

Reconnecting the Colorado River

What is so important about a connected river? Well, to trout, there is an obvious answer: connectivity gives them the ability to survive when adversity strikes. To anglers, there is also an obvious answer: a healthy fishery translates into a better experience on the water. But there is much more to a connected river, and the Colorado River, near its headwaters, is just about to be reconnected. It’s been a long time in the making.
