Try your home water, nearby, or on the way to those stretches everyone fishes. This short video shows you what to look for and how those places you practice translate into the same structures on more popular rivers. | | | | | | Former opponents now partners working to restore the upper Colorado River The dam at Windy Gap blocks fish passage, increases stream temperature and causes other ecological challenges. For years, TU and Northern Water argued over Northern Water’s water supply projects, including a proposal to add additional storage to the Windy Gap Project. But now, in a sign of the changing times on water supply in the West, Trout Unlimited and Northern Water are cooperating to restore the Colorado River. | | | | | | Ken's Crazy Ant Tim Flagler of Tightline Productions made an amazing video for this pattern and it looks like a good one to add to your 'end of summer' lineup. | | | | | | Summer 2020 High Country Angler Featuring articles on reading water with Landon Mayer, the new CTU president reflecting on silver linings, a walk down memory lane fishing for brown trout, Colorado’s fight against weakening the Clean Water Act, and much more, including the regular columns. | | | | | | | | Take Action: Ensure Responsible Energy Development with safeguards for wildlife, fish and their habitat Please take a moment to give your voice and urge the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) to ensure responsible energy development through providing safeguards for wildlife, fish and their habitat.
