FAQs

How can I get fishing badges this summer?

Fishing club membership is an optional fee in addition to the mandatory annual DLPOA membership dues. If you already paid your dues, but didn’t purchase Fishing Badges, then you may still mail a separate check for the Fishing Club fee or purchase it online.

When will I receive my fishing badges and/or boat decal?

Fishing Badges and Boat Decals will be mailed out within 1-2 weeks of receiving your order.

How does boat storage at the big lake work?

This is an optional fee in addition to the mandatory annual DLPOA membership dues. If you already paid your dues, but didn’t purchase Boat Decals, then you may still mail a separate check for the Boat Storage fee.

What is going on with the water levels in Dory Lake?

With the arrival of Spring comes neighborhood concerns about the water levels and the timing of the opening of the head gate controlling spring runoff into Dory Lake.

As a reminder, in 1996, DLPOA and Gilpin County entered into a binding agreement whereby the County may utilize up to 30 acre-feet of Dory Lake storage capacity on an annual basis.

The Water Commissioner for Water District #1 (of which Dory Lakes is a part) has explained that since Dory Lakes has junior water rights, it will always be secondary in priority to those downstream from us who have senior water rights. Please remember that this action (opening of the head gate) is under the direction of the State Water Division Office. Unfortunately, DLPOA does not have any discretion over this action or its timing due to the aforementioned water lease.

The Board will continue to make contact with the Gilpin County Public Works office as needed to bring our lake levels to their attention.
