Clear Creek Reservoir
The trout fishing at Clear Creek Reservoir has been fair. Most boat anglers reported catching two to eight trout per boat. Either sherbet PowerBait or yellow Berkley’s Floating Magnum Eggs can be productive for shore anglers. Boat anglers usually do well on pink Tasmanian Devil lures in the fall. No one reported landing a kokanee salmon from a boat. The reservoir is closed to trailer motorized watercrafts on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. September 30 is the last day for trailer motorized watercrafts to access the reservoir.
King Soopers has recalled its chicken salad sandwiches that are sold in King Soopers and City Market stores in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Wyoming. The product may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
