SUMMIT COUNTY — Dillon Reservoir is one of just two places in the country’s lower 48 states home to Arctic char, and after years of stocking, Colorado Parks and Wildlife report that the fish are doing well.
Based on a fish survey last summer and accounts from local anglers, officials say the char seemed to have reached a critical mass and their success may signal a turning point in the improvement of the reservoir as a fishery.
Now that a recent study proved the fish are successfully reproducing in the reservoir, Parks and Wildlife reduced the bag limit for anglers. Effective next Wednesday, possession will be limited to one fish 20 inches or longer from the current bag limit of four char of any size.
Anything smaller must be released.
