Beginning Wednesday, July 20, CPW is implementing the following voluntary fishing closures in effect until further notice.
Full-day voluntary fishing closure on the Colorado River from Bair Ranch in Glenwood Canyon downstream to the Hwy.13 bridge in Rifle. The full-day fishing closure now applies to the entire stretch of the Colorado River from State Bridge downstream to Rifle.
