Meadowglen Fishing Clinic 2020

Update: If the signup is full, please contact Brandon directly at 303-463-8791

Howdy neighbors!
Are you looking for a fun activity for you and/or your kids? Well, one of our residents (Brandon Marette) has been working with Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) to lead an informal fishing clinic at our Pomona Lake this Saturday morning (5/16) near the Clubhouse (see below weblink for sign-up times). This is a great opportunity for really young kids (or even older kids to older adults) to get a free CPW fishing pole and learn the basics of fishing. 
Since we’re all protecting each other during this COVID period, we’re spacing out the attendees every 1/2 hour so they can rotate through 3 stations, with the last station being actual fishing at our lake (which is supposed to be stocked with rainbow trout late this week). So please sign up ASAP – one slot per family, and please indicate how many poles you’ll need (mom and/or dad can get one too).

CPW will provide:

• One fishing pole per person
• Hooks, weights, & some bait. 
• One fishing regulations brochure
• Training

You should bring the following:

• If you are going to fish, and you are >16 years old, you will need a fishing license. Go on-line to https://www.cpwshop.com to purchase it. It should take less than 1/2 hour. 
  • A one-day fishing license is $14, an annual fishing license is $36, and an extra rod stamp (if you want to fish with 2 poles per person) is $11. Note, each license will have some add-on costs (~$10) for a Habitat Stamp & Search/Rescue Fund.
  • NOTICE: due to COVID-19, mailing of licenses, passes, and permits will be delayed. However, print off and carry your TAN (Temporary Authorization Number) with you this weekend, as it acts as your temporary fishing license.
• Your own bait if we run out. We’d recommend either digging up worms from your garden or buying some from Big 5. Also, power bait and/or salmon eggs would be another option to consider.
• Needle-nose pliers (to remove the hook from the fish).
• Masks – for the training, and then you can remove if you want and if you are not close to other families around the lake.  
• Fleece or windbreaker (the high is supposed to be 66, cloudy, and it may be breezy)
• Folding chair 
• Snack & water 
• Camera – to record photos/videos of a fun, family adventure!

If you have questions, feel free to call Brandon at 303-463-8791, as we hope many of you can participate in this one-time event.
