A wild field trip

10 Years Ago: Lake Capote opened the gates to fisherman on Thursday, April 12. Snow flurries interspersed with clear skies and crisp air did not deter the many fishermen who descended on the lake for opening day. Drawing anglers from the Ignacio community and as far south as Farmington, N.M. Derby prizes were awarded totaling in the hundred-dollar range for specially tagged fish. Lake Manager Craig Reinhart manned the bait shop with a little help from Parks and Recreation Manager, Josh Batchelor.
