The first person I met after entering Greenhorn Park was Ima. She was telling me this is the first time in 15 years that she caught a cat fish. I asked her what other kinds of fish the lake had and she said there were Bass and Trout in the lake too. But Ima was excited that after 15 years she had caught not one but 4 catfish. Next down the trial I met Dave who had caught two Bass, then there was 6 year old Zain who had caught 2 trout and she was with Joe and Zain's grandmother was there too. They were enjoying their Sunday at Greenhorn Park as I was too.

To be continued.
