Hope your winter was full of fly tying, ice fishing, or just resting up for the warmer weather ahead. Here’s the club news for winter ‘23-’24.

Carnegie Library Digitization work
The Boulder branch of the Carnegie Library was able to digitize a number of videos donated to the Library from the club. We believe most were taken and narrated by the club president at the time, Donald Cieber. The videos range from the 50s into the 60s and potentially the 70s. The films feature stocking operations in Indian Peaks Wilderness, James Peak Wilderness, and South Boulder Creek. There’s also a video of an event where the club co-hosted veterans from the Lowry Air Force Base hospital. Please head over to their digital archives page to check them out.
Business as Usual at the fish Farm and the ponds
The fish have been happy and healthy at the farm and are looking to provide a good year’s stocking for the kids’ ponds. We’ll begin the stocking season right before the kids’ fishing derby in May. The neighboring apartment building redid their parking lot and did a fantastic job of keeping the drainage from the pond that runs under the lot intact and in some cases improved upon it. We thank them for being great neighbors and always supporting the farm.
The kids’ ponds have had a fantastic number of big trout that made it through the winter. Now through the end of April is a great time to be fishing the ponds. The fish are hungry and weather is perfect for fishing.
Kids’ Fishing Derby is Back Again
We have the kids’ fishing derby on the schedule for this year. It will be on May 25th at 7am. Keep an eye on the website for more details to come!
