Grand Lake - Water temp is 45 to 51, both inlets are flowing hard. The rainbow and brown bite has been slower this week with most fish being caught in 5 to 10 feet of water early in the morning. Lake trout are hanging from 35 to 55 feet mostly. Small plastics tipped with sucker meat jigged along the bottom has been catching most of the lakers.— Fishing with Bernie Guide, Sam Hochevar
Williams Fork- Ramp hours are 6AM to 8PM. Water capacity is at 77%. The lake is 16 feet low. Surface temp is 54 early AM rising to low 60's by the afternoon. The Lake Trout bite remains slow to fair with mostly juvenile fish being caught in 60 to 70 foot of water on small grubs tipped with sucker meat. With the water warming quickly, mature fish are moving off the shallower humps to deeper drop offs. Fishing for Rainbows and Kokanee will be slow for the season. CPW has not stocked since 2019 in a effort to rid the lake of gill lice. Northern's are slow but can be found in shallow water sunning. Slow moving suspending or floating jerk baits may entice a strike. —Fishing with Bernie Guide, Randy H .
Lake Granby - Water temp is 50-54 degrees and will be increasing quickly with the anticipated temperatures this week. Rainbow trout fishing is excellent in the inlets and moving water, small piece of worm drifted in the current or pink and silver spinners have been working well. Brown trout are condition dependent but can still be a great bite on crankbaits if it gets windy or in those low light periods of the day along rocky shorelines. Lake trout have started to move deeper, the bite still remains very good. Tube jigs have been most consistent bite in 30-50’ of water, color of the tube they want seems to change by the day. Finding some groups of fish that don’t seem to want to bite, keep moving and you will find an active group. —Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon
