Grand Lake - It’s been a busy week on the water but the fishing has remained very good. Rainbows and brown trout are still active early and late in the day with the bite tapering off as the traffic on the lake increases during day. Small jigs tipped with a piece of worm, spinners and spoons worked in the inlet areas have been most productive. Lake trout have been moving deeper as the water warms, 60-90’ has been most productive with Chartreuse or Orange spoons tipped with a piece of sucker the go to baits.

Williams Fork - Ramp hours are 6AM to 8PM. Water capacity is at 93%. The lake is 4 feet low. Inflow is 240 cfs, out flow is 124 cfs. The surface temp is 63, climbing to the mid to upper 60's on a sunny day. The Lake Trout bite is fair to good until about 10AM then the bite drops off until late afternoon early evening. All age groups can be found in 60 to 80 foot of water. Small to medium sized plastics fished on the bottom tipped with sucker meat should produce some bites. Shore fishing for Rainbows is slow as is trolling for Kokanee. Northern's are also slow but starting to show a little interest in following lures. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Randy H
Lake Granby - Fishing for all species remains fair to good. There has been a steady pattern of afternoon thunderstorm activity, Best fishing times have been in the morning before the storm activity. Look for best rainbow and brown trout bite in water shallower than 20’, spoons and deep diving cranks along shorelines in rainbow trout colors will produce strikes. Lake trout have continued their summer migration to deeper water, 50-85’ have been most productive depths. Dark colored plastics being most productive baits. Stay mobile to find the active fish. Schools of kokanee are suspended in the 20-30’ range over 100’+ in the Knight Ridge area and old river channels. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon
