Colorado Parks and Wildlife dropped the angler limits at the Jumbo Reservoir near Julesburg and the Queens Reservoir north of Lamar. The agency expects both reservoirs to soon run dry and lose all fish.
The loss of the fish will harm local businesses near the reservoir that depend on anglers and may not see many of them for a few years as Colorado Parks and Wildlife rebuilds the fisheries.
