Public Urged To Catch Fish in Estancia Park Pond As Water Level Drops

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, Nov. 1, 2017:

SANTA FE – The Department of Game and Fish has issued an emergency salvage order allowing the public to harvest an unlimited amount of fish by any means through Nov. 10 from Estancia Park Pond.

The salvage order was requested by the Town of Estancia as one of the town’s wells that supplies the pond is currently out of service and fish soon may begin dying as the water level drops.

Tackle regulations will be suspended during the salvage period that runs through 11:59 p.m. Nov. 10.  The salvage order will allow anglers to use nets or other means to remove fish from the pond.

Anglers ages 12 and older are required to have a state fishing license.
