I'm in. Saturday is better for me, both either will work.

Saturday it is. We can meet at the lake. The Abe Lee fisherman's access is where I like to dive from. If we meet there about 10:30 we can get in a couple of dives.

The above link will take you to the Leadville, Co map. Click on the lake west of the city of Leadville. That's Turquoise. Zoom in to level 11. You will see Road 4 on the south side of the lake crossing the dam and proceeding to the northwest. That is the road you want to be on. After you cross the dam the first road to the right is the Abe Lee fishing access. I goes to the shore of the lake.

I'm in if you'll take a 3rd person.. does it take about 2.5 hours to get to the lake from Denver?

Actually you will make number 4. My wife and I will be in the Buena Vista area from Friday until Monday. Ryan will be driving up from Denver. Happy to have you aboard, the more the merrier.
About two hours from Denver.

I'm happy to drive from Denver if anyone wants to hitch a ride.

Hey guys,
Does anyone have an estimate on what the water temperatures will be like this time of year. If they would be bearable in a 7mm I might try to make it up.

Thanks,
John

Someone else might have a better idea, but I would estimate mid-40's.

According to Fishexplorer.com the surface temp is 65 as of the 27th.

But I hear the Thermo's are mean there

I maybe interested in this. If so, I'll be looking to share a ride. I can drive if necessary, but with gas costs, It's nice to have a couple of folk to split it up.
