Grand Lake - Fishing is about as good as I can ever remember right now so please get out and enjoy it! Lake traffic is very high so be cautious when traveling on the water in any type of watercraft.
Surface temps are in the high 40s right now and that is a good sign that the fishing is red hot. The inlets continue to spill cold, clean water into the lake and that is helping the bite tremendously.
Rainbows and Browns are very hungry and willing to eat a variety of baits in the morning. Small spoons, tazmainian devils and jerk baits continue to produce when casted in shallow water. The most important aspect of this bite is being on the water as early as possible. Once the sun hits the water, this bite seems to change so please remember to start early.
The lake trout bite is very good right now. We have been finding fish in depths from 40- 80 feet and they are hungry. Tube jigs, spoons and hair jigs seem to be working best. Adding a small piece of sucker meat and/or scent has been contributing to high catch rates. This bite has been good for us all the way into the early afternoon. — Fishing with Bernie Guide, Jake Foos
Williams Fork - Ramp hours are 6AM to 8PM. Water capacity is at 81%. The lake is 12 feet low. Surface is 56 warming to mid 60's in the afternoon. Now that the deep water Chironomid Midge hatch is over the Lake Trout bite has improved to fair to good. Laker's are being caught in 60 to 80 foot of water on plastics tipped with sucker meat. Bank fishing for Rainbows is slow as is trolling for Kokanee, both due to lack of population. Northern's can be found sunning in shallow water late morning, some fish are following but they're reluctant to bite. Slow moving baits my entice a strike.— Fishing with Bernie Guide, Randy H
Lake Granby - Fishing all over the lake is good to excellent right now. Water levels are rising steadily as well as temps, seeing surface temps into the 60’s already. Rainbow trout are biting well in the inlets and moving water areas of the lake, pink and silver spinners or spoons worked in erratic action have been working well. Brown trout are active along the rock/mud lines, work them with deep diving crankbaits bounced in the rocks. Lake trout bite has remained very good. Fish are being caught between 30-70’, small plastics in crayfish colors and your typical tubes will produce, add a small piece of sucker for extra enticement. Boat traffic has been heavy on the weekends use caution while headed out. —Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon
