Grand Lake - Fishing has been fair with the trend continuing that the early morning hours are key to the best bite. Heavy rains have brought in some runoff from the burn area, but has not effected fishing when you get away from north inlet area. Trolling and covering ground has been the key to finding the rainbows and browns. Spoons, spinners and small deep diving cranks fished in 15-30’ of water, change colors until you find the color of the day. Lake trout have continued to move to deep summer pattern with some suspended fish around. Target 65-90’ with tubes, grubs and small minnow imitations jigged right on bottom, and don’t forget the sucker meat, Keep it fresh and change it often. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon
Williams Fork - Ramp hours are 6AM to 8PM. Water capacity is at 87%. Inflow is 36 cfs, outflow is 240 cfs, the lake is 9 feet low. Surface temp is nearly 68 early AM rising to 74 in the main channel on calm sunny days. The Lake Trout bite is fair. Look for them in 60 to 90 feet of water. Small tubes or grubs tipped with sucker meat fished slow on the bottom is getting bites early AM with the bite slowing as the day wears on. The shallow bays are unusually warm. Large Northern's have moved to deeper water. Suspending or jointed baits fished with a slow to medium retrieve is producing follows or an occasional hit. The Northern's have contracted a skin disease that can be transmitted to an uninfected fish via landing nets. Rainbow and Kokanee fishing is slow due to low populations.

Lake Granby - Fishing has remained good despite the warm temps. Rainbow and brown trout are active early and late in the day, target the inlet areas as well as rocks for best action. Crankbaits, small tubes and spoons have produced well, with bait fisherman finding the most success with nightcrawlers. Lake trout are in their summer habitat, look for them in 55-90ft of water. Tubes and grubs fished on the bottom with small piece of sucker has been most productive with bright orange and lighter colors seeing the most action. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon
