2002 Final Standings:  Trophies will be awarded at the January Meeting.

 

Conservation Update: Anglers 4 Horsetooth, update by Eric Bergersen.  He advised that we are at a temporary slow down, due to some archeological finds.  They are currently being flagged for us to stay away from.  Some dead trees have been marked for removal, so they may be placed in holes and filled with concrete.  Ridges will have to be reseeded to hold them together.  There are a total of 75 ridges that have been put in some of the coves and more will be put in later.  We will be planning to use some natural seed instead of store bought seed ($800.00/acre).  There has been some stocking going on approx. 17,000 Fatheads, 17,000 emerald shiners.  There are also 2 growths of Gizzard shads.  There is a possibility that next year Cheeseman Res. May be shocked electrically for some smallies to put into Horsetooth.  We are also looking at some areas around the lake to stock pile structure.  Eric will coordinate with Bill W. for assistance.  Eric also advised that the fish that were in Sheldon Lk. were used to stock some of the lakes around Ft. Collins.

 

Anyone, volunteering to help needs to sign in at the trailers at the north end of the lake.  Look into collecting funds and possibly start a committee.  Need to contact some scouts to help with seeding.

 

Full Moon Open:  VP Bill Wilson wanted to remind everyone that this a great fund raiser for the club and wanted to try to get as many members as possible to fish it this year.  Let’s have a great showing this year.
