The tailwater in 2009
We almost didn’t go, the reports of flooding in town made me hesitate, but we still went. As far as the fishing, I couldn’t tell ya how it was, I never made it to the river. The trip was planned weeks before my wife broke her thumb- a random accident involving a dog that is always under foot. I have since been able to double my chores around the house and really take on the Mr. Mom role.
Back to Steamboat. I was ready to hit the water for at least a few hours but broken digits can make you cranky and an energetic toddler takes two if not three hands to manage. Fishing- not gonna happen. Totally bummed.
As for the good part of the trip, we had a great Easter egg hunt at Steamboat Lake State Park. It was a pancake breakfast followed by the hunt held by some local group as a school fundraiser. The kiddo had a blast and didn’t stop talking about the Easter bunny.
