A kids division features free entry. Prizes will be determined by a total weight of two fish, and proceeds will be used for a fish stocking program. For registration, call 970-724-9407 or 866-472-4943.
Calling all trail workers

Participants should bring work gloves, hiking shoes, adequate water supply, lunch and, perhaps, fishing gear for a session scheduled to end at 3 p.m. Similar workdays are scheduled June 28, July 16 and Sept. 17. For information, call 303-791-1932.
Women’s cast and blast
A Division of Wildlife-sponsored clinic will offer instruction in fly-fishing and shotgun shooting June 25 in Silverthorne. Space is limited to 16 participants in each event. Entry fee is $15 and information may be obtained by phoning 970-725-6200 or 970-255-6191.
Poaching fine levied
A Montrose resident, Jason R. Duggan, must pay nearly $7,000 in fines and may be banned from hunting or fishing in Colorado and 19 other states following a conviction on wildlife violations.
Duggan, 19, was cited for illegally killing eight deer, nine ducks and various protected small mammals and faces a jail sentence of one year should he fail to pay the fine.
