I heard the same thing, Spinnerhappy, about Chatfield. Apparently it's true and will happen before the summer is over.<br> After the last fishing trip with my Granddaughter, I also decided to leave the fish alone and to be stressed in private. Antero is bone dry. I was up there several weeks ago and there is just a small trickle down the middle of it and little else. The base of the dam is exposed. All my favorite spots are really low and I'm not agile enough now to romp over and down the rocks. So, my fishing gear is cleaned and stored in the shed, ready for when the rains return and fill the lakes and reservoirs again.<br> I see all this lack of water, and then I see the cities running the sprinklers early in the morning, water running down the streets. Who you gonna call? I stopped watering my lawns a month ago, and it shows, brown grass and thriving weeds that would flourish in Death Valley. Personally, I think there should be a morotorium on new construction. No new homes until the water situation improves.<br> "Conserve water, shower with a friend, or two."<br><br>
