Colorado Ducks Unlimited will be given special recognition as the nation’s leading state when the North American waterfowl conservation organization holds its annual convention in Denver today through Sunday. The Colorado arm of the organization will be cited for leading the nation in fundraising, growth and sponsorships at the Saturday banquet at the Hyatt Regency, 650 15th St. More than 1,000 representatives from the U.S., Canada and Mexico will attend.
Walleye spawn.
Following a difficult exercise that covered nearly five weeks, the Colorado Division of Wildlife collected some 90 million walleye eggs to complete its annual exercise to replenish the state’s stocking of walleye and saugeye. A late effort at Aurora and Carter reservoirs, coupled with better than average success in converting the eggs, allowed the agency to meet its quota, which included an exchange of sauger milt with Nebraska and wiper fry with Texas.
