Barr Lake Blast V - May 7, 2011
The 2011 Colorado bowfishing season began with a great showing of teams at Barr Lake State Park. 22 teams competed in our fifth year at Barr. The weather was perfect, the visibility was perfect, the water was 60 degrees; the only thing missing was the carp. The morning started off well for most teams, but the fish seemed too few, too deep, and too far between. A thick layer of moss at the bottom of the lake seems to be the perfect hiding spot for fish.
During the morning registration, each team received a sponsor grab bag, including stickers and brochures from Muzzy, Ams, NOS, as wells as special coupons from Dick’s Sporting Goods, Buck Knives, and Galley Graphics. Samples of Rocky Mountain Sunscreen were also included, though a few teams didn’t use them and returned to check-in looking like lobsters.
Overall 56 fish were taken, with only one team going double digits, and several other failing to put fish into their buckets. The heaviest fish taken was 14lbs, but unfortunately that team (team 1-8-7) didn’t put in for the heaviest fish pot, so the prize when to team Sofa Kings, with a 1 lbs smaller fish at 13lbs 3oz. Nonetheless, everyone who came out had a great time. After the result and prize announcements, COBF hosted a free BBQ for all participants.
We would like to thank everyone who came out to participate, all the Barr Lake staff, and all of our generous sponsors who provided some awesome prizes. A special thank you goes to PowerAde and Go Fast drinks, which kept everyone hydrated and awake for the entire event.
