New Online Permitting System- Fishing permits are now available online only.
Tribal members can still visit the Wildlife Office for help to receive fishing
permits. Please visit https://store.southernute-nsn.gov to receive your fishing
permits.
Emergency Fishing Regulations/Closures
The Southern Ute Indian Tribe may announce short-term emergency fishing
closures in response to biological or environmental conditions. Sport fishing
regulations in this booklet for the designated waters will be suspended, and
fishing may be curtailed or disallowed for the duration of the emergency
period announced by the department. In recent years, all Southern Ute Tribal
Waters have experienced drought conditions. Low stream flows can force trout
to congregate in pools, making them more susceptible to anglers. Warm water
temperatures can cause considerable stress to trout and can be fatal to fish
handled by anglers. Check the Southern Ute website or call the SU Wildlife
Division to find out about emergency regulations/closures.

Colorado’s aquatic ecosystems and fisheries are threatened by several
imported animals, plants, and diseases, including zebra and quagga mussels,
New Zealand mudsnails, Eurasian watermilfoil, whirling disease, and viral
hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS). Don’t let these invaders threaten our
resources and recreation. Anglers are asked to follow these guidelines to help
prevent and control the spread of these organisms in Reservation waters:
1. Remove all plants, animals, or mud and thoroughly wash boats, trailers,
waders, and equipment that have come in contact with the water before
leaving a lake or stream.
2. Drain water from boats, including live wells, bilge, ballast, storage areas, or
any other place on boats or equipment that might hold water. Allow boats,
engines, boots and gear to dry completely. If draining and drying are not
possible, wash boats, trailers and equipment carefully and completely with
high-pressure hot water (140° F).
3. Don’t move or transport fish between waters. This can spread diseases and
nuisance species.
4. Don’t dispose of fish entrails or other byproducts into any body of water.
5. For general disinfection, soak/treat equipment and waders for 15 minutes
with a bleach solution (6 oz. household bleach per 5 gal. water), a solution
of Sparquat 256 (4 oz. per 1 gal. water) or a solution of potassium chloride
(1 tsp per 2 gal. Water).

Southern Ute Tribal Members
Enrolled Southern Ute Tribal members, both juveniles and adults, must have in
their possession a Southern Ute Fishing Permit when fishing on the Southern
Ute Reservation. No State fishing permit is required, and a Tribal permit
allows a Tribal member to take game fish from
all
waters within the exterior
Reservation boundary. See
Stream Access
for specific restrictions regarding
access on Tribal assignments, allotments and private property. A Tribal
member stream fishing permit is issued free of charge and is valid for the
calendar year in which it is issued. A Tribal member must show proof of
enrollment by presenting his or her Tribal census card.
Southern Ute Senior Fishing Permits
Southern Ute Tribal members age 55 or over may receive a lifetime stream
fishing permit through the Wildlife Division. A Tribal member Senior Fishing
Permit is issued free of charge and is a lifetime permit. A Tribal member must
show proof of enrollment and age by presenting his or her Tribal census card.
Non-Tribal Members
All non-Tribal members must obtain a Tribal stream fishing permit to fish on
designated Tribal waters. A Colorado State fishing license is
not
required to
fish on Tribal waters but
is
required to fish on private property and public
waters (i.e., Navajo and Pastorius Reservoir) within the Reservation
boundaries. Please see
Stream Access
for the list of designated waters and
specific restrictions regarding access on Tribal assignments, allotments and
private property.

Protected Species
Roundtail chub, flannelmouth sucker, and bluehead sucker are rare native fish

Catch and release is an important approach to fishing that many anglers
voluntarily practice. Not all fish that you catch need to be kept. In fact, the
more fish put back in the river, the more fishing time you’ll have, and the
more fish will be available for others to enjoy. Most of the time if a fish is
caught, handled properly, and then released, it will survive to be caught
another day.
Here are some important things to remember when practicing catch and
release:
● Do not play any hooked fish to total exhaustion.
● Keep the fish in the water as much as possible while handling it.
● Gently remove the hook without squeezing the fish or touching its gills.
(Barbless hooks make hook removal much easier.)
● If the hook is deeply swallowed, do not pull it out. Instead, cut the line as
short as possible so the hook may dissolve inside the fish.
Allow an exhausted fish to recover before releasing it. Gently hold the fish in
moving water, facing it upstream until it swims away.

The maps provided here identify Tribal trust waters that are open to non-
Tribal member fishing. Enrolled Southern Ute Tribal members may fish
all
waters within the Reservation boundaries. Also included on these maps are
the locations of the designated stream access points.
In many places, but not all, boundaries between Tribal trust waters and
allotted or private waters are marked in the field. It is the angler’s
responsibility to know where these boundaries are and to obtain access
permission when needed.
