It's too danged hot! Boat Day postponed a week

 With a forecast high near the century mark, Boat Day Captain Danny Barker has postponed the monthly Loveland Fishing Club Boat Day from Thursday, Aug. 21 until Aug. 28.

Basic plans are unchanged: 8 a.m. to noon at Boyd Lake boat ramp. To sign up, call Danny Barker as soon as possible at 930-302-8965, or e-mail him at DanBarker2337@gmail.com. Anglers meet at the boat ramp at 7:30 a.m., fish until about noon and then join the potluck picnic. Water and meat will be provided; the rest depends on what participants bring to the party.

 

Our guest speaker for Tuesday's general meeting will be Al Noraker, president of KastKing fishing, which offers a full line of fishing tackle, clothing and related products. Al will speak on still water fly fishing. Kastking's website is http://kastking.com. 

The meeting will be held at 2 p.m. at Chilson Center; (Don't forget the club's annual picnic has been moved to October.)

Also on the agenda will be discussion of plans for this year's modified Senior Fishing Derby, to be held from 8 a.m. to noon on Sept. 24 at Rivers Edge Natural Area.

The August Boat Day will be this Thursday, 8 a.m. to noon at Boyd Lake. To sign up, call Danny Barker as soon as possible at 930-302-8965, or e-mail him at DanBarker2337@gmail.com.

And Doug swears these weren't even as big as the one he almost caught...

 Don't let this get around, but Doug Money hauled in a couple "sizable" rainbow trout and a decent walleye on recent outings at Horsetooth Reservoir with fellow club member/guide Bill Rottman.

Doug didn't get a measurement on the trout, but I'd say they would have put him in the running for Angler of the Year. But, as Doug says, "hey, the 'one that got away' story is even better."
