Fishing Report Week of 6/26/23

Grand Lake - Ramp Hours are 6am-8pm 7 days a week. Fishing has been fair for all species with the best bite being early before the lake gets busy, so don’t sleep in! Rainbows and browns are being caught in the inlets and along rocky shorelines 8-12ft deep on Pink and silver spoons and spinners as well as small white crank baits. Look for the best lake trout action in 35-65 ft of water, with a small black or chartreuse glow grub tipped with fresh sucker meat worked with a subtle jigging action.

Williams Fork - Ramp hours are 6AM to 8PM daily. Water capacity is at 99%, just under a foot low. Inflow is a 642 cfs, out flow is 536 cfs. Early morning surface temp is 59 warming to 60/61 degrees. The lake is starting to settle down, visibility is about 12 feet. With our windy afternoons most of the surface debris has made it to the east shore line, but keep your eye out for stragglers. The Lake Trout bite is outstanding early AM, then slows by late morning. All age groups are eager to bite most any soft plastic tipped with sucker meat fished on the bottom. Look for Laker's in 50 to 80 feet of water. When the bite slows down, down-size your jigs and add your favorite scent. Suspended, or swimming Lake Trout generally tend to bite if you crank up to them. I haven't fished for Northern's yet, but the rumor is Pike fishing is slow. Please practice catch and release on all Northern Pike as the fish are in decline. Rainbow Trout fishing is slow, as is Kokanee Salmon since the lake hasn't been stocked for several years.

Lake Granby - Sunset Boat Ramp is open 7 days a week 6am to 8pm. Stillwater Boat Ramp is Open Friday- Sunday 6am to 8pm. Surface water temperature is 59 degrees in the morning and warms to mid 60’s by end of day. Rainbow trout action has been fair with best action in the inlets and along the dam faces at first and last light. LIttle Cleo, Kastmasters, Vibra-max spinners have all been working well in silver paired with various colors. Brown trout action has been slowing a bit, but can be very good in the right conditions. Look for rocky shorelines in the wind or lowlight conditions, fish with a erratically worked crank bait or spoon. Lake trout action has been good, target them in 35-60ft of water. Three inch tubes and small grubs in white, pink or chartreuse worked right on bottom have been most consistent, but when the bite slows have a Gulp or twitchtail minnow in the boat to give the fish a different look and keep them biting.
