Boyd Lake opened for boating on Sunday, March 17; I (and a couple other optimists) took the boat out for a few hours that afternoon to test the waters, which are still pretty cold, about 38 degrees.
Inspections are still required; current hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

State Park has also opened to boating, about a month earlier than scheduled. The Division of Wildlife says they've begun "aggressive stocking" and fishing should pick up as water temperatures rise." That may be a bit optimistic: last summer's water drawdowns for irrigation was expected to lead to a total fish kill. That didn't happen last year, but losses were set at more than 75 percent.
The club is open to all, but club events take place during the week and we meet at Chilson Senior Center in Loveland, CO. Our basic purpose is to fish, but we're easily distracted by the chance to work with youngsters or improve northern Colorado outdoor resources.
