Kokanee salmon to be given away
Colorado Parks and Wildlife will give away kokanee salmon in Durango at 3 p.m. Nov. 6 , 13, 20 and Dec. 4 at the boat ramp at Lake Nighthorse.
The fish will be available following spawning operations at the reservoir. People wanting fish must present a 2015 Colorado fishing license. The number of fish each person receives will be determined by the number of kokanee collected and the number of people who show up. Fish are distributed as equally as possible.
To get to the boat ramp, travel west on La Plata County Road 210 behind the Office Depot shopping center to the top of the hill. CPW staff will be at the entrance to check licenses and direct traffic.
Because of traffic concerns, people are asked to arrive at the gate no earlier than 2 p.m. People attending will be required to stay in their vehicles until the giveaway starts. People must stay in the parking lot and will not be able to walk around any other part of the property.
People should bring a small cooler or other container. Most of the kokanee are 10 to 13 inches in size. Kokanee are a freshwater, land-locked sockeye salmon.
