Dowdy Lake
七月四日是美國獨立紀念日,跟隨女兒家人到落磯山國家公園北邊的小鎮Red Feather Lakes參加教會一群教友的釣魚、健行活動。Red Feather Lakes是位在科羅拉多州Fort Collins西北邊約45哩處的一個小鎮,人口才五百多人,但因該區多湖泊,是露營、泛舟、划船和釣魚的最佳地點。
當天我們約七點多從家中出發,沿I-25州際公路北上,抵Fort Collins後轉US-287再轉County Road 74E西北行,九點多抵達小鎮,釣魚的地點是該區最大的湖泊Dowdy Lake;

Dowdy Lake位在Red Feather Lakes的東邊,海拔8,200呎(2,500公尺),面積約115英畝(46.5公頃),趁大夥兒找到一處野餐區安頓好開始釣魚時,我和女兒、太座沿著湖岸的Dowdy Lake trail環湖一圈。

Dowdy Lake trail沿著Dowdy Lake 湖岸環湖一圈,全程約2.2哩(3.52公里),步道走在湖岸的松林裡,經過露營區,景色非常優美,這種有樹蔭、沒有爬升高度的步道是太座的最愛,花了一個小時左右繞完一圈後太座對Dowdy Lake trail讚不絕口。

中午就在野餐區大啖現釣現烤的鱒魚,好奢豪的享受!

下午教友澤春先生帶我們到附近一個小湖Bellaire Lake 走走,該湖比起Dowdy Lake小了許多,屬於小巧玲瓏形的小湖,湖岸同樣有許多釣客,環湖一周約四十分鐘左右。

回到Dowdy Lake後繼續釣魚,直到七點多才回家,貝貝當天共釣了五條肥美的鱒魚,是今天釣得最多的釣魚王(當然真正的高手忙著為孩子們準備、整理釣具未出手),高興得在回家的路上是談不完的釣魚經!
