JUN 20 1940, JUN 20 1949 Denver, Co - City Park General, Crowds For the first time fishing in City Park lake became legal at 9 a. m. Monday morning and more than 200 anglers of all ages were on hand to try their luck. Many were lucky, pulling out a few bass, some bullheads and a lot of carp that weighed from 2 1/2 to 3 pounds. With the one exception of the smaller waterfowl lake at City park, all city lakes now are open to fishing Angels at City Park lake must remain between two posted signs at the east end of the lake, however. The move was taken to protect waterfowl around the remaining portions of the lake. Credit: Denver Post (Denver Post via Getty Images)
