Chatfield State Park
A couple posts ago I spoke about taking our new (to us) pontoon boat out on Chatfield Reservoir. We had a great time with the kids and caught a few Rainbow Trout, which we may try to smoke, now that we have a little experience smoking salmon. I thought I would take this time to post some info on Chatfield, this will be my first lake profile post.
