From email from Reclamation (Peter Soeth):
Colorado Parks and Wildlife has lifted the voluntary fishing closure at a popular area on the Fryingpan River below the Ruedi Reservoir Dam, effective immediately.
Known locally as the ‘toilet bowl,’ fish here became stressed and vulnerable to anglers after water normally released from the dam into this area was rerouted to accommodate for annual maintenance and inspections.
“We asked anglers for their cooperation to protect the resource while this situation was ongoing,” said Senior Aquatic Biologist Lori Martin. “In fact, it was anglers voicing their concerns to us that led to CPW instituting the voluntary closure in the first place. We are grateful to them for their regard for ethics, and their cooperation.”
The ‘toilet bowl’ is a heavily fished area of the Gold Medal trout waters of the Fryingpan River.
