Here is your Grand County fishing report for the week of 3-23-20. The ice is in spring fishing conditions. Be very careful around shorelines, inlets any shallow rocky areas.
Grand Lake – Fishing remains Fair to good for all species, but does seem to change with this crazy spring weather. The ice is holding up with the top 12” starting to get soft and the usual open water areas are starting to grow. No problems with slush or travel lately. Rainbows and browns are biting in 8-16 ft of water, pink and white spoons or tungsten jigs tipped with wax worm have been producing. Lake trout are being found suspended in 70-110 ft of water. Tube jigs, spoons and minnow style baits tipped with sucker are producing bites. Target those suspended fish with your electronics and move often until you find the active fish. - Dan Shannon - Guide, Fishing with Bernie
Williams fork-Bite for lake trout has been decent lately with most of the fish being caught in 50 to 70 feet of water on structure. Working small plastics tipped with sucker meat on the bottom has been the ticket lately. Rainbows are being caught around the inlet or in sandy bays, the best bite has been first thing in the morning. Small spoons and tiny plastics imitating bugs have produced some fish recently. Be careful around inlets as they are all flowing creating some sketchy ice conditions around them. Sam Hochevar - Guide, Fishing with Bernie
Lake Granby- Has been extremely good for rainbows in the shallows. Small Jigs tipped with wax worms along the shoreline are getting bit.Try 6-15' early in the morning. When the sun hits the ice the bite is about over. Lake trout have been eating twisters, tubes, spoons and plain bait on a jig head. Don't forget to look for suspended fish over very deep water. When fishing these fish keep your lure above them.
