2024 Annual Salmon Give-Away located at Lake Nighthorse hosted by Colorado Parks & Colorado Parks and Wildlife

With permission from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and Animas-La Plata Association, Colorado Parks & Wildlife (CPW) is again conducting its annual Lake Nighthorse kokanee salmon spawning operation. This spawning operation is important for fisheries within the Southwest Region and across the State of Colorado.
CPW wants to let the Southern Ute Tribal members, as well as, Ute Mountain Ute Tribal Members, know about the spawning and fish giveaways. We are inviting enrolled tribal members ( SUIT & UMUT) to share this fish resource.
• Fish giveaways are scheduled for 3:00pm on Friday, November 8th, 15th & 22nd.
• Tribal Members need only to present their Tribal Census Card or Tribal Brunot Area fishing permit. Tribal members do NOT need to possess a State fishing permit.
Participants can begin lining up at the boat ramp at 2:00 p.m. When entering the lake, members should let the City of Durango staff at the entrance booth know they are there for the Kokanee giveaway. CPW staff members will distribute kokanee based on the number of fish that have been collected from the reservoir and the number of people in line.
Please, call the Wildlife Division if you have any questions at (970)563-0130.
