Here is your Grand County fishing report for the week of 8-2-20.
Grand Lake: fishing is still slow as high temperatures and fishing pressure have made the bite tough. Lake trout are hanging in 30 to 60 feet of water. Small jigs tipped with sucker meat worked slow on the bottom have produced most of the lakers. The best chance for rainbows and browns is at first light until the sun hits the water. After the sun hits the water throwing some bait in 10 to 20 feet of water has produced a few fish. Guide Sam Hochevar
Williams Fork - Water capacity is 98%. Ramp hours are 6AM to 8PM daily. Surface temp is 65 warming to 67 in the main body. The Lake Trout bite is up and down. One day the bite is good the next can be slow. The bite does drop off around 11AM but seems to pick up again around 3PM. Jigging small grubs or tubes tipped with sucker meat in 80' to 90' of water will produce some light bites. Bottom fishing with bait for Rainbows around the campground bays has slowed but a few are still being caught. Casting the inlet with small spinners, spoons or flies early and late in the day should produce some hits. Due to lack of population Kokanee trolling is slow, but a few four-year olds are being caught in 40' to 50'. You will pick up young Lake Trout while trolling for Koke's. Northern Pike are still slow but they are more active than they've been in the past. Casting the shallow west bays is your best bet. Randy H Guide - Fishing with Bernie
Lake Granby- Rainbows and browns are getting tough from the bank. A few are being caught early and late in the day. Trollers are catching a few rainbows using minnow style baits over deep water. Lake trout are continuing their migration to deeper water and getting a little pickier on what they are willing to eat. Small grubs, spoons tipped with sucker meat are still catching a few each day.
