Hello Everybody. Sorry for the delay, but here is a recap of all the goings on with the Fish and Game Club for second half of 2024.
The kids’ ponds were incredibly clear this fall. You could easily see the fish cruising around in the ponds.
Another Thank you for the Kids derby
We just want to send another thank you to all those who helped out with the kids fishing derby this year. It’s always such an amazing event and we cannot do it without the support of our community and our supporters. Please check out our supporters page to see all the local businesses and organizations who help us make this event happen.
High Lake Stocking
In July, we were able to help our friends at Colorado Parks and Wildlife with our first high-lake stocking since 2018. We assisted CPW in backpacking Tiger Trout into Indian Peaks Wilderness from the Hessie Trailhead. In about 3 years time, Lost Lake will be an excellent Tiger Trout fishery in addition to being an incredibly scenic place to get a line wet.

New Fish at the farm
The farm once again passed our bio test and the new fish were delivered in late summer. We received 2000 new Rainbow Trout who settled in well. We also have about 50 fish we’re holding over to make sure there’s some big inhabitants of the kids’ ponds this coming year.
Illness at the farm
Sadly illness has occurred in the fish at the farm. We believe we’ve figured out what it was and it has since run its course, but it took it’s toll on the fish. This is sadly a part of the rearing process and happens sometimes. We’re working to make the farm more resilient in years to come. As always the best way to help is donate volunteer time or money to Boulder Fish and Game.
An end of the year thank you
The Board at Boulder Fish and Game Club would like to thank all our supporters, volunteers, and everyone who helps us continue this amazing piece of the Boulder community for over 115 years now. We have some fun things coming up next year, so keep an eye on the site in the coming months!
