Hey, let's go fishing Saturday!

I know it's the weekend. But the darned kids and other homebound wretches we've shared the water with since March are probably going to be inside playing Tik Tok. 

Despite an incredible amount of fishing pressure this spring, summer and fall, the fishing has generally held up pretty well at River's Edge. Even so, I haven't seen a trout there all fall. With the coming of cold, and the addition of timely stocking by our friends with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, that should change abruptly Saturday if we just get out and fish.

Timing is critical,  Fellow Anglers.  The temperature is only supposed to hit 24 degrees today, 21 on Sunday. But it'll be a balmy 35 degrees by 10 a.m. Saturday, and 54 by 2 o'clock, made even more balmy with winds pushing no more than 5 or 10 mph.

So unless we wake up to another ashfall, or Karol and Arnie get evacuated again, let's meet about 10 a.m. at Dragonfly, on the northeast corner by the little dock. I'll be easy to spot:  the handsome gray-haired guy in a Loveland Fishing Club hat holding a bag of Gulp Minnows.

Know where we're going? River's Edge can be reached on the south side of First Street in Loveland, just east of Taft. Be there or naively wait until the high tops out at 12 degrees Monday... As they say on Game of Thrones, "Winter Is Coming."
