Fishing Clinic recap
On May 16TH the fishing clinic put on by Meadowglen’s finest, Brandon Marrette from the Colorado Parks and Wildlife, was a great success. The Department of Fish and Wildlilfe stocked our lake with 153 rainbow trout and about 1000 small bluegill, and later this summer it will be stocked again with bass. The clinic had a total of 127 people made up of 58 kids and 69 adults, most of them had little or no fishing experience. While maintaining social distancing, the presentations were staggered and Brandon probably repeated his education about 15 times, but it was very informative! Overall it was a beautiful day to get out around our lake and learn something new!
The Department of Fish and Wildlife gave out 100 rods to the crew, so that was exciting for the kids to be able to take home their own poles. The board donated some funds for bait, hooks and bobbers. The only bummer was that only 4 fish were caught during the day (2 bass, 1 trout and 1 carp). Attached is a photo of a bass that was caught by this 1st grader who casted and reeled it in all by himself!
A big thank you to Brandon for volunteering his time and family to h
elp educate our community about fishing and wildlife.
