Aurora Gander Mountain – Spring Walleye Tips
CWA member and Colorado fishing guide, Steve Gerber of Toknow Guides will be
giving a spring walleye seminar at the Aurora Gander Mountain on Thursday April
26th from 7:00 to 8:30pm. Steve will cover “Walleye Seasonal Movements”
and “Trolling for Walleye Made Simple”. Steve not only is a fisherman but an
astute study of what makes fish react to changes in their surroundings. He
spends a lot of time researching on how lake environmental changes make
walleye patterns change.

Pueblo Fish Hatchery Tour
(Saturday April 1, 2006 11:30 AM)
Dave Harris, Pueblo Fish Hatchery Director, has agreed to give a
tour on Saturday April 1st. The tour should cover
how walleye are hatched and raised until they are ready to be
released in many Colorado reservoirs. Without this resource,
walleye fishing in Colorado would be very different. Anyone
interested should meet at the hatchery by 11:30 AM. The Hatchery
is located just east of the dam off of Highway 96 (Thatcher Ave).
For additional information, call Paul at 303-549-7537.
