About this episode
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. If you're interested in high-alpine fishing for cutthroats (or anything else), this is the episode for you.
