CPW Conducts Large-Scale Fish Salvage At Crystal Creek Reservoir
TELLER COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) - Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials are working to save fish from Crystal Creek Reservoir on Pikes Peak. Over the last several days, crews have been using a net to wrangle up fish.
The 86-year-old Crystal Creek Reservoir is being drained to repair a 70-foot-tall dam. On Monday, CPW officials scooped up trout in a bucket and released them in a larger pool nearby.
The large-scale fish salvage is expected to continue next week before the reservoir goes dry.
