TEN POUND TROPHY TROUT INCLUDED IN INCENTIVE STOCKINGS

To kick off the New Year in a big way, the Urban Fishing Program will be stocking incentive size trout at all Urban lakes the week of Jan. 5-10. Incentive stockings include more fish and bigger fish, with many trout from 13-18 inches and over. One of the Colorado trout contractors will be bringing a trophy 10-pound trout and numerous 5-7 pounders for stocking. These trophies could end up in any of the 21 program waters. The current Urban Lakes record trout is a 7.9 pounder. Chances are good that this record will get beat. On average, one in every three trout in this special stocking is a whopper over 13 inches with the remaining fish ranging from 11-12 inches. Remember to purchase your new 2009 Urban fishing license. Daily trout limits are 4 fish at Urban Lakes and 2 fish at Urban Ponds.
How do you go about documenting a trophy sized fish? Who has to see it, measure, weigh, etc?
Arthur, you can find all that information in the Departments fishing regulations on page 36.
Here’s a link to it on our webpage.
