BLUE MESA DRAINED FOR ELK SEASON

(Sapinero) Anglers and fish are reminded that the state of Colorado will once again drain Blue Mesa Reservoir for elk hunting season. According to a top secret Division of Wildlife transmission, intercepted by gorillas hiding in the green, misty mountains, the monkey business will begin October 2 and continue until all the water has been removed.

Another gov’ment brochure entitled When Fish Go to the Beach highlights plans to return the water in April or May.

“During the winter we plan to lease the water to California for a tidy profit,” said R. Melvin Toolini, architect and primate investor of the baboonish operation.

Sailors, water skiers and anyone with a line in the water is cautioned not to overstay their welcome at the popular lake. Fish, who generally handle the draining without incident are asked to have their belongings packed for the traditional trek up to Lake San Cristobal for hibernation.
