LICENSE STRUCTURE CHANGE FOR ANGLERS AND SMALL GAME HUNTERS

The Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOW) would like to remind anglers and small game hunters that the license structure for fishing and small game hunting has changed.

Beginning April 1, 2009, all annual licenses including fishing, senior fishing, small ga. me, furbearer, combination fishing and hunting, Colorado waterfowl stamps, habitat stamps and walk-in access permits are valid from April 1 through March 31 of the following year.

"Annual licenses will no longer expire on January 1," said Henrietta Turner, DOW licensing manager.

"We've changed the calendar-based system to a season-year format, so licenses coincide better with our small game seasons."

All licenses purchased in 2008 will remain valid through March 31, 2009.

NEW TARRYALL RESERVOIR & ANTERO RESERVOIR BOATING REGULATIONS AND ZEBRA & QUAGGA MUSSEL INSPECTIONS

The Colorado Division of Wildlife has initiated a boat inspection procedure at Tarryall Reservoir along with new boating regulations to help stop the spread of Zebra Mussels, Quagga Mussels, and other aquatic nuisance species.

Trailered boats will be allowed on Tarryall Reservoir from 6 A.M. to 10 P.M. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays after going through an inspection, but prohibited on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Trailered boats must use the north boat ramp off of Park County Road 77 and must be off of the reservoir by 10 P.M. on the above mentioned days. Tarryall Reservoir will be closed to trailored boat Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Hand launched boats, such as float tubes, personal pontoon craft, non-motorized row boats, etc. will be allowed on Tarryall Reservoir at all times and will not need to go through an inspection.

Trailered boats will be allowed on Antero Reservoir from ½ hour before sunrise to ½ hour after sunset, seven days a week after going through an inspection. All trailered boats must use the north boat ramp and must be off the reservoir ½ hour after sunset.

The Colorado Division of Wildlife is asking boaters to come to any lake in the state with their boat CLEANED, DRAINED AND DRY to help stop the spread of aquatic nuisance species and to speed up the boat inspection procedure. This means that no water should be in the bilge area, ballast tanks, live wells, anchor well, etc. and the drain plug should be pulled out. Any boat that does come to the reservoir with water will be subject to a higher level of inspection and possibly need to be disinfected before being allowed on the reservoir.

Zebra and Quagga mussels can clog pipes, valves, gates and any water-related equipment or surface. They can ruin boats by jamming equipment and causing motor damage, and they can harm fisheries by consuming beneficial plankton and disrupting the food chain. However, Antero and Tarryall Reservoirs are not known to be infected with zebra or quagga mussels at this time. The vessel inspections are designed to help prevent these waters from becoming infected with zebra/quagga mussel or other Aquatic Nuisance Species.

Reopening on July 10th, boat usage will be restricted to the North boat ramp where trained personnel will inspect and decontaminate watercraft 7 days a week, from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

COMMISSION VOTES TO CHANGE SMALL GAME AND FISHING LICENSE DATES TO COINCIDE WITH SEASONS

The Colorado Wildlife Commission voted to adopt a season-year Small Game and Fishing license in place of the current calendar-year license at its regular July meeting in Durango Thursday. The action was taken in order to provide better customer service to license buyers.

The change in regulations will mean that all 2008 Small Game and Fishing calendar year licenses will be valid until March 31, 2009, and that subsequent small game and fishing licenses will be valid from April 1 to March 31 of the following year.
