Colorado Fishing License Applications Up in 2020
Nearly 70,000 more people applied for a fishing license in 2020 than in 2019 according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife. It seems that more Coloradans have taken to the outdoors this summer during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fly Fishing for trout.
In-state resident applications are over 208,000 for the year. There has also been a slight increase in out-of-state fishing license applications, up from 2019 at around 2,000.
I wish all of you anglers the best of luck when it comes to setting your hook. I have had horrible luck over the past recent years and have not caught a single fish. I hope none of you suffer the same lack of luck I have had in the past.
