Easily shattering early fishing records, more than 90 Loveland area seniors enjoyed a memorable outing Wednesday at Flatiron Reservoir.
The day was highlighted by near-perfect weather in the upper '70s, and trout eager to bite. (Master fish cleaner Tom Miller reports cleaning more than 70 fish for guests), most of them from Loveland and Fort Collins' assisted living centers.
Biggest fish of the day was a 13 1/8-inch rainbow caught by Christina. Smallest was a solid 6-incher by JJ. Prizes for funniest fishing hats went to Paul and Ruby. The oldest lady angler was 95-year-old Vernetta, a resident of Mariana Butte Brookdale; and oldest male angler was 99-year-old Harry from Good Samaritan.
