Fishing Wednesday at Fort Collins' River Bend

A small contingent of club members led by Charlie Higgs has been meeting with Fort Collins Natural Areas staff, Colorado Parks and Wildlife biologist Kyle Battge and Fish Explorer's Matt Snider to enhance fishing in the city's natural areas.

This Wednesday April 24 we're going to begin an assessment of two ponds in the River Bend Natural Area - that is, we're going to see if we can catch some fish there! Let's meet at 10 a.m. in the parking lot on northwest corner of River Bend. It's just east of the Timberline/East Lincoln intersection. See map below.

Should be warm water fishing, hoping for bass, bluegill, crappie and maybe catfish. If all works as planned, we'll be working on ways to enhance the ponds to make them a more quality fishery.
