Here is your Grand County fishing report for the week of 1-5-20. We hope your holidays were great. Now it’s time to get out on the ice.
Lake Granby-5”-8” of ice. We’ve seen snowmobiles and atv’s out on the lake. Cracks have formed and are making icy spots as well as slush in some areas. Be careful, it’s your responsibility to be safe on the ice. Rainbows are eating small jigs tipped with wax worms early in the morning. Lake trout are eating tubes, trustees and spoons tipped with sucker meat.
Grand lake is holding about 6-10 inches of ice depending where you are at. The recent snow storms have left the top a little bit messy but pulling a sled is still a very good option.
Rainbows and Brows are eager to eat a small tungsten jig with a wax or meal worm as well as a flashy spoon like the Panfish Leech Flutter Spoon by CLAM. These fish are being found anywhere in 4-15 feet of water.
The lake trout are spread out but if you find structure, you will find fish. 40-80 feet of water seems best right now. Small tube jigs with a very small piece of sucker has been best. Watch for the suspended fish if you are out over very deep water and present a spoon above these fish as well.
The best bites for all species are happening very early in the morning so plan on hitting the ice early and good luck. Jake Foos, guide Fishing with Bernie
Williams Fork- Slush spots have already started to show up in areas of the lake due to recent snow fall. Lake trout have been in 30 to 70 feet of water. Spoons and small plastics have such as tubes and grubs with sucker meat have been the ticket for these fish. Rainbows have been shallow early in the morning over sand.
