IMPORTANT: UPDATED 2018 overnight trip plans to date!

Following fixes some links including reservation site for Ranger Lakes.

Okay anglers, we have several trips planned for this spring and summer - and more if we can decide what we want to do.  Getting together to plan closer trips throughout the seasons is encouraged.  You just have to let the rest of us know what you're planning, and that we're welcome to tag along.

Pat and Dee Mikulak are managing the overnight trip schedule, among other things looking to avoid date conflicts.  If you're like to set something up, try to avoid the third Tuesday of the month, other events on the club calendar, especially volunteer projects like to Kids Derby.

Here's the list so far, with the name of the club member coordinating plans for that particular trip.  If you want to take part, or suggest or organize another trip, be sure to let Pat and Dee know.  Carpooling and such are encouraged, and in general you should settle on accommodation plans asap.

Ice out at Delaney Buttes
Date depends on, uh, when the ice goes out at Delaney Buttes.  Probably early April; likely cold and blustery,  but also great opportunity for big, gullible trout. Contact Jim Roode.

May 1-3, John Martin
Big, wind-sweep reservoir south of Limon with potential for good walleye and crappie.  Norm Engelbrecht is organizing, so a certain amount of chaos should be taken for granted.

Lake John, June 11-13
Home of some big trout and a few small mosquitoes.  See Dave Johnson.  The club will be staying at https://lakejohnresort.com/

Ranger Lakes, Aug. 27-31
This annual trek to the high country is a tradition as old as the Loveland Fishing Club.  Fishing can take place at any of many good trout lakes.  Make your camping reservations asap by using this website:  http://reserveamerica.com
Contact:  Lou Colton.
