Grand County Fishing Report Week of 8/30/21

Grand Lake - Water temp has started to cool, fishing should start to pick up again in next few weeks. Rainbows and Browns are being caught trolling Tasmanian Devils and spoons in 10-20 ft of water, shore anglers are reporting success around the inlets and town docks on worms fished on bottom. Lake trout are being caught on glow plastics tipped with sucker fished on bottom in 65-100 ft of water, with some suspended fish over the deep water. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon.

Williams Fork - Ramp hours are currently 6AM to 8PM. On September 7th the ramp hours will change to 7AM to 7PM. Water capacity is 79%. In flow is 20 cfs, outflow is 319 cfs. The lake is 14 feet low. Surface temp has cooled to 63 early AM warming to mid 60's. The Lake Trout bite is still slow but it has picked up from last week. The fish are up and moving around a bit more so they've become a little easier to locate. Look for them in 70 to 100 feet of water. Tubes or grubs tipped with sucker meat fished tight to the bottom is working best. Bank fishing for Rainbows is slow but as the water continues to cool large resident Rainbows will cruze the shore line to feed early AM and late PM. Kokanee trolling is very slow due to low population. Northern Pike are also slow. Look for trophy size Pike in 10 to 15 foot of water on sunny days, shallower on cloudy days. Juvenile fish will be close to the shore line out to about 10 foot. Crankbaits, swimbaits, or spinners fished on a slow to medium retrieve are your best bet. Randy H - Guide Fishing with Bernie

Lake Granby - Water temps are starting to cool and fishing should start to pick up soon. Rainbow and Brown trout fishing has been good along the rocks and in the moving water areas of the lake. Fish early or late in the day along shorelines out to 15ft, spoons, spinners and small crankbaits fished in an erratic retrieve will produce bites. Lake trout bite has started to pick up, small tubes and grubs in crayfish colors tipped with a small piece of sucker has been the most productive bait, fish tight to the bottom in 60-80ft of water.
