CPW staff members distributes kokanee based on the number of fish collected from the reservoir and the number of people in line. This year, fish giveaways were scheduled for Friday, Nov. 8, 15 & 22. They invite Southern Ute and Ute Mountain Ute tribal members to share this fish resource annually.
CPW lets the Southern Ute and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe know about the spawning and fish giveaways each year in the late summer/fall.
In association with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and Animas-La Plata Association, Colorado Parks & Wildlife (CPW) once again conducted its annual Lake Nighthorse kokanee salmon spawning operation. This spawning operation is important kokanee management within the Southwest Region and across the State of Colorado
