Grand County Fishing Report Week of 5/31/21

Grand Lake - Water temp 44 - 47, both inlets are flowing. Rainbows and browns have been biting well at the surface early in the morning and throughout the day on overcast days. By mid morning on sunny days try fishing a little bit deeper in 10 to 15 feet of water. Lake trout are spread out in the water column, with most being caught in 30 - 50 feet of water on small plastics tipped with sucker meat. — Fishing with Bernie Guide, Sam Hochevar

Williams Fork - Ramp hours are 6AM to 8 PM. Williams Fork is at 73% water capacity. The Lake is 19 feet low. Surface temp is 49 early AM warming to 52 by afternoon. The Lake Trout bite is slow to fair. Juvenile laker's are biting well in 60' to 70' of water on small plastics tipped with sucker meat. Mature fish can be found in 40' to 70', but the bite is tough right now. I'm seeing trophy class laker's break the surface, casting for them is hit and miss. Northern Pike are sluggish in the cold water and recovering from the spring spawn. Kokanee fishing is slow due to lack of population. Rainbow fishing is also slow since the lake hasn't been stocked since 2019. — Fishing with Bernie Guide, Randy H

Lake Granby - Water temp has been 48-53 degrees. The bite has slowed a bit but is still good. Rainbows and browns are biting well in the inlets and rocky shorelines on spinners, and small natural colored crankbaits. Lake trout are being caught in 20-60ft of water, the transition areas between the rocks and mud have been good areas to concentrate on. Small tubes, grubs and crayfish imitations has been most consistent with color being different every day. Tip your jig with a small piece of sucker meat and keep it fresh for the best action.
