The opening of Chatfield Reservoir to boating last week continued a progression of boating activity at state parks that includes the recent openings at Jackson, North Sterling and Highline. Certain mountain park locations continue to be partially or fully covered with ice.
Native trout recovery.
A public meeting to discuss the proposed Woods Lake native fish restoration project is scheduled 6-8 p.m. on April 10 at the Wilkinson Library in Telluride.
A proposed 2009 project would eliminate all fish in Woods Lake and 4 miles of nearby stream to provide a habitat for a restored population of Colorado River cutthroat trout, the fish native to the area. Dan Kowalski, a fisheries biologist with the Colorado Division of Wildlife, and Chris James, his counterpart with the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forest, will conduct the meeting.
