Colorado Parks and Wildlife Connect With Anglers via Colorado Fishing Atlas and Social Media

Some fine civic engagement from the Parks and Wildlife service in Colorado as some new resources designed to connect with Anglers have been released to the public. Colorado Parks and Wildlife have released the Colorado Fishing Atlas, a live webmapping service designed to provide anglers and outdoor enthusiasts with valuable information to help plan outings, fishing trips, and other recreational opportunities. Using the map service anglers can identify all the known fishing areas of interest in Colorado along with relevant information like fishing related news and information about the area, fishing regulations, license information and other important updates.

The Fishing Atlas also includes information such as handicap-accessible fishing access, stocked waters, boat ramps, special fishing regulations, stream gages, license agents and Gold Medal waters with maps, and a printable Fishing Resource Report that provides nearby state and federal management agency offices, emergency facilities, campgrounds and fishing license agents.
