Grand Junction, Colo. – Colorado Parks and Wildlife invites anglers to attend one of two in-person fishery management public meetings in the coming weeks. The meetings will include an overview of CPW’s fisheries management, proposed statewide and regional aquatic regulation changes, as well as important aquatic news in the Northwest Region.

If you have a topic or question you would like CPW to provide information on during one of these meetings, please complete this form. Your comments will remain anonymous and will not be shared for any other purpose than for CPW to respond to your topic or question. 
 
Public meetings allow anglers the opportunity to learn more about aquatic resource management in Northwestern Colorado, as well as the chance for anglers to visit with CPW staff about topics of interest to them. The meetings will begin with presentations from CPW staff, followed by an open house question and answer opportunity for anglers to discuss important topics with various CPW personnel, including aquatic biologists, and wildlife and park managers.
