Well, fellow fishermen, the news from Colorado is bad, the state is burning. We now have eight fires burning out of control west of I-25 and the smoke and ash is heavy. I made a short trip to my favorite fishing hole, Barr Lake, northeast of Denver, and there is a light layer of ash on the water surface. I hate to think of what other fishing holes are like right now.<br> So, until the situation is under control, I'll be sticking close to home and family, just in case. I'll report back when things are better.<br><br>
