Cassidy English, District Wildlife Manager for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, pulls walleye fish from nets from Lake Pueblo State Park as Colorado Parks and Wildlife conduct their version of March Madness, the annual walleye spawning operation in Pueblo, Colo., on Tuesday, March 23, 2021. Colorado Parks and Wildlife's goal this year is 120 million eggs statewide, with roughly 30 million to come from Lake Pueblo. " We stock them in reservoirs all over Colorado and we use them to trade with other states for their game fish that we do not have," said Bill Vogrin, Colorado Parks and Wildlife Public Information Officer. By doing this CPW can provide all sorts of fishing opportunities to anglers. "It is a really valuable program for us," said Vogrin. Last year due to COVID-19, the spawning was cancelled after one day. This year, with a skeleton crew of aquatic biologists, technicians and two veteran volunteers, Colorado Parks and Wildlife say they are pulling record numbers of walleye fish for spawning.
