The fish will die regardless: With some Western reservoirs set to run dry, officials lift fishing limits

Wildlife officials in Colorado and Oregon are allowing anglers to take as many fish as they want from some reservoirs expected to be hit hard by drought.

Both states face stark drought forecasts, with some reservoirs expected to run dry by summer's end. Given that water managers don't expect water supplies or, consequently, the fish that rely on them to last in those locations, officials have taken special administrative action to remove limits for anglers.
