Show up, fish with new or old friends, have fun.
Lets get out of the heat and head up to the 6700 foot elevation alpine lake. This may be a bit of a long drive (two hours) for a morning before work, but a full day of fishing may be in order if you can get the day off. Bring a lunch -- and your float tube! 
  
Norm Nelson has volunteered to be our trip leader, as he has been there before. We should all give him a big thank you. I will get him a list of those who have registered a about a week before the trip, so please register early. It's free & easy. Just click the Register Now button.
