The icing on the lake Veterans, novices take to Evergreen Lake for winter fishing BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
It’s 12 degrees as the sun rises on Dec. 14, as about a dozen ice-fishers make their way onto Evergreen Lake. Armed with gear, provisions and equipment, the men and women are ready to brave the cold, hoping to catch a few trout. For some, icefishing is a new experience, while others are veterans of the winter activity. Some bring popup tents to keep out the winter weather, and on weekends, Evergreen Lake looks like a tent city thanks to all of the ice-fishers. Friends Ray Trujillo and Michael Romero set up their ice-fishing spot.
Romero calls himself a fishing addict, though he’s new to ice-fishing. “I’m not going to let the ice stop me,” he said. Nearby, Dennis Jones of Westminster and his family set up their spot. Dennis was practically born ice-fishing. A native of Madison, Wisconsin, he joined family members in the sport often in his youth. His wife Carol Jones said the secret to weathering the cold was dressing in layers, and masks helped a lot to keep out the cold. She explained that her husband was a great fishing guide and patient as he taught his family about the sport. The Joneses had a popup tent with a small space heater. Vanessa Napier Jones added: “He is very prepared. We brought a lot of stuff with us,” including plenty of hot coffee, soup and sandwiches to get them through the morning.
