The attached paper describes the <br />proposed process by which this policy will be developed. <br /> <br />The process will include a discussion at the May Commission meeting. A draft policy will be presented <br />at the September meeting and a final policy will be approved at the November Commission meeting. <br />Public input will be obtained throughout the entire process and a "stakeholders" committee will be <br />established. This committee will serve to provide input to the Division in development of the <br />recommended policy. The committee will be composed of unaffiliated anglers; organized groups; land <br />management agencies; business interests; private trout growers and others. <br /> <br />It is my objective to develop and implement a policy which will protect the well-being of Colorado's <br />fishery resources, while maintaining angling recreation and related benefits. <br /> <br />I have assigned the responsibility of coordinating this process to the Aquatic Section and to Eddie <br />Kochman in particular. <br /> <br />We will look forward to the initial discussion in May. <br /> <br />xc: <br /> <br />Jim Lochhead <br />Jim Rubingh <br />Director's Staff <br />U.S. Forest Service <br />Bureau of Land Management <br />U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service <br />Angler's Round Table <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />I (lIR <br />SC <br />ASC <br />F <br />I <br />L <br />E <br /> <br />~J <br /> <br />RECEIVED <br />MAY 0 3 1995 <br /> <br />Calarado Wa,er <br />c...- tali....
