Upcoming Trips
September 11, South Slope
As we investigated where to have a club trip in September, the low flows and continued high water temperatures hampered several opportunities. With the recent rains and cooler weather, it will help get the rivers back to normal but unknown exactly when. With this information we scheduled a second trip to the South Slope Recreation area to catch the large cutthroat on Thursday, September 11th. There might even be some leaves changing color at that altitude. The gates open at 7:30 AM and close at 3:00 PM. If you are interested in making the trip, please contact me at kuduhunterkudu@gmail.com or 910-617-4714. I will set up transportation for the ones who would like to carpool. If you want to drive yourself or would take passengers, please follow this link to make a reservation (https://pikespeakcolorado.aluvii.com/event). Please contact me if you have any questions.
