I had the pleasure of joining Jon, Chris and Mike for 4 days of pulling nets for the population studies on Lake Granby, through some crazy weather with anything from freezing rain, sleet and microbursts of hurricane force winds keeping things interesting.:biggrin1: We pulled 30 nets on Lake Granby, heres Jon with a nice Lake trout
http://imageshack.usWe noticed the sucker population has dropped this year and the lakers seemed to be putting a major dent in the populations. Heres Mike with a nice Laker that was sporting a half digested white sucker that we pulled out of him before sending him back.
Just in time to save the pelicans from starving and the Ospreys from heading south early, thanks to Rifle hatchery for coming up on 5-30 with 50,000 3"-4" Hofer rainbows and 2000 catchables.photo/my-images/818/img2057y.jpg/]

http://imageshack.us This week we had great weather, here's Jon with another nice Laker, another reason to release large lakers, we seemed to find a pattern of seeing a large laker in a school of little guys dining on and helping keep the overall population of Lakers down along with keeping the suckers population in check. We stole his fresh meal of a pink meated mysis eating laker out of him.
http://imageshack.us Heres a Glenwood hatchery truck with the start of 1.45 million kokanee getting stocked, we stocked 50k of them at Dike 3 that I last saw cruising down the shoreline and the rest are going in the river below Shadow mtn. The river was cranking at 1000cfs and it was pretty cool to see 500k kokanee fry going in.
http://imageshack.us It's been a great week and wanted to give a big thanks to Jon and his crew along with the hatcheries guys that help keep fish swimming in our waters.
