From the Summit County Citizens Voice (Bob Berwyn):
Colorado Division of Wildlife biologists are preparing to restore the fishery at the popular Trickle Park Reservoir on the Grand Mesa. The project is scheduled for Oct. 12-15. In preparation, the Park Reservoir Company has recently drawn down water in the reservoir to allow for repairs to be made to the outlet structure…
Before the project starts, the Division of Wildlife is encouraging anglers to harvest trout from the pool that has formed in West Surface Creek just below the dam. Anglers must have a Colorado fishing license and standard regulations for take and possession apply.
After the Rotenone application, dead fish will be left to decompose in the water to allow recycling of important nutrients as the reservoir fills.The public is prohibited from harvesting fish killed by the project, and people are asked to stay away from the reservoir while the project is underway.
