Attention anglers: Wiper fishing in Colorado has been in a steep decline for the last 10 years due to a whole host of reasons including drought and the supply of clean wiper fry from Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. Conditions have to be perfect when the fry do arrive in Colorado which we all know can be challenge in its self. We are not Biologist just extreme wiper fishermen with a passion for this species. It has come to our attention that there are a few high ranking employees at Colorado Parks and Wildlife that don't believe there is much a demand for Wipers and that less than 5% of Anglers show an interest in Wiper fishing. Say What? So what we as Anglers need to do is light up the Fishing forums with your own opinions and thoughts on this issue. Do you want to see the Wiper program come back stronger than ever or are Trout and Walleye enough to keep you happy. Because we have lost such a huge amount of our eastern lakes that once held huge populations of Wipers, Walleye and Crappie. let’s ask the CPW to jump start our front range lakes and Reservoirs not only with fry but fingerlings too. This will better insure survivability. It time to speak up anglers!!!
