Earlier this week, Denver Water announced that it will soon drain water from one of Colorado’s most popular recreational fisheries: Antero Reservoir. The decision will shutter recreational opportunities at the premier trophy trout fishery, likely impacting it for years to come.Denver Water, a public utility that serves 1.5 million people in the city of Denver, says it made the difficult decision to increase efficiency as the state is experiencing historically low snowpack conditions.

When I was in my teens, I said to Grandpa, “I would like to try to repair that 12 gauge for you. If you like the work, you can give me the 20 gauge in payment.” That was a foolish offer on my part. Why would Grandpa want to give up a dandy 20 gauge just to get a battered old 12 gauge repaired. But for…
