Here is your Grand County fishing report for the week of 8-17-20
Fishing is still slow as weather has remained hot and dry. Lake trout are hanging in 35 to 70 feet. 3.5 inch to 5 inch jigs tipped with sucker meat have been producing fish. Most bites have come while working the jig very slow on the bottom. Rainbows and browns are rising at the surface early in the morning however they are going deeper shortly after the sun hits the water. Sam Hochevar, Guide- Fishing with Bernie
Williams Fork - Water capacity is 93% and dropping. Ramp hours are 6AM to 8PM daily. Surface temp is 65 warming to 67 on a sunny day. The Lake Trout bite has been good on some areas of the lake. Jigging small rubber grubs or tubes tipped with sucker meat on the bottom is producing hits in 80 to 90 foot of water. Northern Pike fishing is slow but they are catchable if you work hard. Working the west bays with any lure type on a slow to medium retrieve is your best bet. The shallow bays around the campgrounds are warming to 70 degrees which has made bottom fishing for Rainbow slow. Fish the cooler deep water drop offs. Casting small lures at the inlet is producing a few fish. Kokanee Salmon trolling is slow due to low population, but a few are being caught in 40 to 50 foot along with small Lake Trout. Randy H Guide - Fishing with Bernie
Lake Granby- Rainbows are getting tougher along the shorelines. Evenings and mornings have been best. A few nicer browns are being caught at night. Large flies and minnow baits have been the bait of choice. Lake trout are still easting small jigs tipped with sucker meat in 50-9-' of water.
