Great time at Swift Ponds

About two dozen of Loveland's finest anglers had a productive day of catch-and-release fishing at Swift Ponds Thursday, May 16, courtesy of our friends with Colorado Youth Outdoors.

Most of the bass caught weren't great, but they were plentiful, and some handsome bluegill went for an artificial snack.

CYO will also be joining the club for the June 1 Loveland Kids Fishing Derby, and will be our host again in July for the annual Girl Scouts outing at Swift.

Last catch of the day.  Merle Gordon kept pestering this 17 1/4" smallmouth until  it took a bite of his  grub on  his last cast of the afternoon.
