License structure for fishing and small game hunting has changed. Beginning April 1, 2009, all annual licenses including fishing, senior fishing, small game, furbearer, combination fishing and hunting, Colorado waterfowl stamps, habitat stamps and walk-in access permits will be valid April 1 through March 31 of the following year.
Anglers should continue using the 2008 Colorado Fishing Regulations brochure through March 2009. The 2009 brochure will be available mid-to-late March at all DOW offices and license agents statewide. It will be valid until March 31, 2010, coinciding with the new license structure.
All 2009 annual fishing, small game, furbearer and combination licenses are available for purchase now. These licenses will remain valid through March 31, 2010.
