GENERAL

Open Hunting Areas:

     In an effort to safely and responsibly manage the natural resources of the Colorado River Indian Tribes, the Department of Fish and Game has designated "Open" and "Closed" hunting areas that apply to Public Hunts only (Appendix A). Additional closed areas not noted on the map include agricultural areas where farm operators give hunter notice to leave either verbally or in written form, and any area within 1/4 mile of a residence.

Public Hunts:

     The following list contains the hunting regulations. These species are available for take by anyone possessing a Colorado River Indian Tribe Hunting Permit, or enrolled Colorado River Indian Tribal members. For locations to purchase permits, see the Permit Information section of this page.
     All regulations listed herein are final except for those pertaining to migratory birds. Migratory bird regulations are currently proposed, and while we do not anticipate any changes, please check with C.R.I.T. Fish and Game for a finalized set immediately prior to hunting.

Open Waters:

     All waters on the Colorado River Indian Reservation are open to the taking of fish, amphibians, crustaceans and mollusks, unless posted as closed to such activity. Use of bow and arrow, snag, snare, spear or spear gun is prohibited within one hundred (100) yards of any boat dock or posted swimming area.
Watercraft
     Except for emergency situations involving injuries, department functions and wildlife and fisheries management operations, no person shall use anything other than electric trolling motors, sails, oars as power when fishing or recreating in the following areas:

          No Name Lake

          Ahakhav Tribal Preserve
          Species Identification

     All fish, amphibians, crustaceans and mollusks possessed or transported must have the head and tail, skin, or shell attached so that the species can be identified, numbers counted, and any required size determined. All birds must have one wing attached.
     Any fish or animal not listed in this regulation is NOT available for take without a special permit issued by the Colorado River Indian Tribes Fish and Game Department!!
