Bear Creek
Karen Christopherson continues her diligent monitoring of temperatures on Bear Creek. We have to send out our thanks to her for this continuous volunteer effort!
Bear Creek will get skinny sooner or later. When it does, we don't want to stress the fish in our home stream too much. Our little section of the watershed had about 42% snowpack this year. We didn't get the 200%+ that other Colorado watersheds received. So, go easy on the fish and don't pound them too hard.
Thanks!!

A Successful Summer So Far
Our 4th of July Kids Clinic was a huge success. The weather was hot and so was the fishing. We send out our thanks to the Colorado Division of Wildlife for stocking Bear Creek with cut-bows out of Pueblo and big, fat rainbows out of Yampa. Kudos go out to the Evergreen Metro District and Evergreen Parks & Recreation for loaning us materials to pull off the event. And, the biggest thanks goes out to the dozens of ETU volunteers who pulled off this event. Your dedication is very much appreciated by a lot of folks. Thank you so much!
Don't forget. The Trappers Lake trip was pushed back until July 20th through July 24th. Please, contact Ron Belak for details and updates (303-674-6396) or ronbelak@msn.com.

Trappers Lake Trip Pushed Back!
The annual ETU camping and fishing trip to Trappers Lake has been pushed back to July 20 through July 24 due to ice and heavy snow conditions in the high country. This trip is wading for Colorado River Cutthroat, predominately dry fly fishing in still water. This is only the second time in 17 years that we've had to push the trip back due to ice and snow. We'll be staying at the Bucks Campground which is within easy walking distance from the lake. The campground will accommodate RVs and Trappers Lake Lodge (970-878-3336) is a short distance away. Contact Ron Belak (303-674-2239) ronbelak@msn.com for details and updates.
