I just want to say that I appreciate how open you guys are to talking about the open areas for Bowfishing. Normal fishing you can't get people to tell you what state they fish in. So thanks for making everything so welcoming.
One question on the Big Thompson Ponds, according to the Colorado Bowfishing site and DOW it is not open to bowfishing. Can anybody elaborate? Thanks in advance for your help.

(Big Tompson Ponds)On the web site it is U/N on Artificial lights there, but I have been bowfishing there for over 20years. There is three ponds there that you can bowfish on the one in the center is small but full of carp for the most part, The one in the back is a old gravel pit but the carp in there are bigger but harder to get a shoot off, The front pond is green water (algae) and carp # i think are low in it I have not shoot one out of it for years.

Barr Lake will open for boating on March 12th at 7:00am 2011. Pre-inspections for ANS may be scheduled in advance by appointment at the Ranger office (303)655-1495. Regular ANS inspection hours for March will be Sat/Sun only from 7am-5pm at the Entrance Station. At least this is what the website says.
