DENVER â More Colorado rivers are being put under voluntary fishing closures to avoid harming fish while the waterways are running low and warm.
The latest voluntary closures are on the Eagle River from Wolcott downstream to the Colorado River and for the Roaring Fork River from Carbondale downstream to the Colorado River, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
CPW Aquatic Biologist Kendall Bakich said both of the rivers have been consistently topping 71 degrees Fahrenheit this week. Water temperatures above 67 degrees, and especially above 70 degrees, are unsafe for trout because oxygen increasingly dissolves at higher temperatures.
