The North Slope Recreation Area opens for fishing Friday. Visit www.pikespeakcolorado.com (link is external) to purchase a one-day pass and view regulations. South Catamount Reservoir and Crystal Reservoir are open, but North Catamount Reservoir is closed due to icy conditions. South Catamount Reservoir requires a free online parking reservation.

The reservoir will be filled this year, but will not be restocked until the project is complete.
