Emergency fish salvage at Jumbo (Julesburg) Reservoir

Colorado Parks and Wildlife is announcing an emergency public fish salvage at Jumbo (Julesburg) Reservoir effective immediately (Monday, July 25).

Due to high irrigation demand created by severe drought, the water level in Jumbo Reservoir is expected to decline to a point that will likely result in a loss of the entire fishery resource. Water levels are expected to be below the boat ramp in early August, which would eliminate access for trailer-launched boats in the lake, which is more than 1,500 acres at full pool.

The public salvage in the Logan County reservoir is being announced in order to optimize use of the fishery resource as outlined:

-- The emergency fish salvage is permitted only at Jumbo (Julesburg) Reservoir from sunrise to one half hour after sunset.
-- All anglers must have a valid Colorado fishing license in accordance with state statutes.
-- No commercial angling is allowed.
-- Current size, bag, and possession limits for all species are suspended for Jumbo (Julesburg) Reservoir until the emergency public fish salvage is terminated.

If the fishery resource is lost, CPW plans to rebuild Jumbo's fishery as soon as water levels allow, according to local fisheries biologist Mandi Brandt.

Due to severe drought conditions, the reservoir was completely drained in the early fall of 2006. Severe drought conditions returned in 2012 and 2020, resulting in CPW initiating public fish salvages in those years.
