Grand Lake - With the heavy rains last week came lots of ash and debris in the lake. Water clarity is minimal and fishing is slow for all species right now.

Williams Fork - Ramp hours are 6AM to 8PM daily. Water capacity is at 88%. Inflow is 60 cfs, out flow is 67 cfs, the lake is 8 feet low. Surface temp is 67 early AM warming to low to mid 70's in the afternoon. Lake Trout have been slow to fair. Groups of fish are difficult to locate on sonar as they are holding tight to the bottom most of the day. Look for them in 70 to 90 feet of water. Patience and frequent moves are key right now. Small plastics or tubes tipped with sucker meat on the bottom is producing some bites. 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. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Randy H.

Lake Granby - Granby weathered the rainy weather better than Grand Lake, the water is cloudy in the area around Stillwater Creek inlet, but other areas of the lake were not effected. Fishing has remained fair to good for all species. Rainbow and Brown trout continue the pattern of biting best during the low light hours, dry flies, wooly buggers and small crankbaits in rainbow trout color worked along rocky shorelines have been producing best. Lake trout have moved to their deep summer spots. Focus on 65-100ft of water, small plastics and jigging spoons tipped with sucker worked on the bottom will produce strikes, color does not seem to matter, but when the fish start looking instead of biting swap to a glow color.
