THE GAME AND FISH DEPARTMENT LIFTS BAG LIMITS AND TACKLE RESTRICTIONS ALONG A STRETCH OF THE SANTA FE RIVER. THE RESTRICTIONS WILL BE LIFTED FROM NOW UNTIL NEXT MONDAY. IT APPLIES TO A TWO MILES OF THE RIVER FROM PASEO DE PERALTA DOWNSTREAM TO CAMINO ALIRE.
THE MOVE IS BEING MADE BECAUSE THE CITY IS PREPARING TO STOP THE FLOW FROM CITY RESERVOIRS WHICH WILL RESULT IN THE RIVER GOING DRY. THE DEPARTMENT STOCKED THE RIVER WITH 500 TROUT THIS SPRING. IT SAYS MOST OF THOSE HAVE BEEN CAUGHT BUT THERE MAY STILL BE A FEW IN THE RIVER.
