Grand Lake - With the lack of heavy rain over the past week fishing and water clarity has improved some. Finding rainbows and browns near the east inlet and in the entrance from Shadow Mountain Res. Bright colored spoons tipped with nightcrawler trolled along the shorelines has been working. Lake trout are in typical summer spots, target 70-110 ft of water, using electronics to show where the fish are. Glow grubs and tubes have been top producers fished right on the bottom tipped with sucker, keep the sucker fresh for best results. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon
Williams Fork - Ramp hours are 6AM to 8PM daily. Water capacity is at 86%. Inflow is 21 cfs, outflow is 251 cfs, the lake is 10 feet low. Surface temp has cooled a bit running in the mid 60's early AM warming to the low 70's in the afternoon. The Lake Trout bite has been hit miss with mostly juvenile fish biting. Small tubes or twister type grubs fished in 70 to 100 foot tipped with sucker meat is getting some hits. The fish are holding tight to the bottom and difficult to located a group on sonar. Rainbow and Kokanee fishing is slow mainly due to low numbers. Northern's are pretty tough to come by, but some are being caught in deeper water along the rocks and steep drop offs on jerk baits.

Lake Granby - Fishing for all species has been fair, best bite remains in the early morning before the sun has fully risen. Rainbow trout and brown trout are being caught along the rocky shorelines in 15-20’ of water, trolling spoons and small crankbaits has been most productive. Shore anglers are doing well on nightcrawlers fished just off bottom. Lake trout are scattered throughout the deep depths, use your electronics to find the groups of fish. Finding most fish in 70-90’, go to lures have been those on the smaller side, 2-3” tubes and Powerbait Twitchtail minnow tipped with sucker worked right on the bottom, color depends on the day so have an assortment on hand. Kokanee are being found in 30-40’ suspended over deep structure, try trolling small spinners and spoons through the area to get a few bites. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon.
