All About High-Alpine Lakes with Colorado Parks and Wildlife

In this episode, Colorado Parks and Wildlife aquatic biologists Ben Swigle and Gage Dean join Ross to discuss their work with and management of high-alpine lakes in Colorado's wilderness areas. They discuss the history and current state of alpine stocking programs, how CPW backcountry teams survey these lakes, competition between native and non-native species, fishing tips, and how anglers can go about finding, researching, and accessing these incredibly beautiful places.
