Jonathan Clarke+FollowWhy St. Vrain is Denver’s fishing gemLanding a walleye at St. Vrain State Park is almost a rite of passage for Denver-area anglers. With its collection of well-stocked ponds, this park isn’t just about the catch—it’s a haven for birdwatchers, campers, and anyone who loves the outdoors. Locals swear by the simple trick of dragging a night crawler along the rocks, but there’s a bigger conversation here: keeping the park clean and wildlife safe. Volunteers and regulars are urging everyone to remove fishing hooks and trash, after a young osprey died from leftover gear. How do you think we can all do better to protect these shared spaces? #News #DenverOutdoors #FishingCommunity00Share
