Spring Cleanup at Lathrop State Park - Saturday, April 10, 2010
West of Walsenburg, Colorado


Lathrop State Park, Colorado
Two lakes are located in this beautiful park.  This is part of Lake Martin's beech where the TU Volunteers removed everything from broken glass to a swim fin donated by some unlucky swimmer.


After working over a mile of beech, sitting here sure beats that bending over activity.

Official Rod Inspection and Envy
Sure wish we could afford that equipment.


You have got to be kidding me! You really think I can handle this long stick?


No rest for Joanie our chapter secretary.  She is on the phone again.  Seems like she does 90% of the work.


A male bonding moment or that is what our wives and female significant others call it. 


Here is the best fly fisherman in the park. This guy flew in, landed, nailed his fish and proceeded to chomp it down.  We estimated from time of landing to catch was approximately 45 seconds. We believe this is a Blue Herron.

More casting lessons on Horseshoe Lake.
Horseshoe Lake is the other lake and close to Martin lake.
