Colorado Parks and Wildlife to host two State of the Fish public meetings in Summit County
March 6, 2026
SUMMIT COUNTY, Colo. — Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) invites anglers to attend two in-person State of the Fish public meetings in Silverthorne, Colorado.
The first meeting will focus on the rivers in Summit County and will take place on Monday, March 16, starting at 6:30 p.m. The meeting will begin with a brief presentation by Nathan Elder with Denver Water on the expected flow conditions for 2026, followed by presentations about the status and management of the fisheries from CPW Aquatic Biologist Jon Ewert. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions following the presentations.
The second meeting, which will cover the lakes and reservoirs in Summit County, is scheduled for Wednesday, March 18, also starting at 6:30 p.m. During this meeting, attendees will gain insights into the current status of fish populations and fisheries management activities in Summit County lakes and reservoirs, including Dillon and Green Mountain reservoirs. Following the presentation, attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions and have open discussions.
“There have been a few management changes and projects we’ve undertaken in the past few years that I think folks will be interested in,” said Ewert. “It’s important for us to periodically share this information and get input from the angling public.”
Both meetings will be held in the conference room at The Block Hotel, located at 491 Rainbow Dr, Silverthorne, CO 80498, and no virtual option will be available.
