Grand Lake - Boat Ramp hours are 6am to 6pm. Fishing has been good as the water continues to cool. Rainbow trout action is good along the shorelines and the mouth of the inlets. Silver and pink colored spinners and spoons have been most consistent lures with egg and leech patterns being the most consistent flies. Lake trout have moved up on to their spawning areas and are aggressive chasing spoons and tubes, color does not seem to matter as much as an aggressive jigging cadence. Tip your lures with fresh sucker for best results. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon.
Williams Fork - The east boat ramp hours are 7AM to 7PM. The water level is at 88% or 7.5 feet low. The surface temp is cooling down quickly. The average early morning temp is 58 warming to 60 on calm sunny days. The Lake Trout bite is very good. Early AM the bite starts off a bit slow, but really gets going around 9AM and lasts all day. It's pretty easy to catch a limit of keepers as the fish start to roll into pre-spawn. We're starting to see a few big fish in the boat again. Look for mixed ages groups in 75 to 90 feet of water. Most any plastic we drop will get bit providing the presentation is right. Small tubes or twister tails in natural colors tipped with a piece of fresh sucker meat is working best for us. Adding scent helps if you catch a slow day. Northern Pike, Rainbow Trout and Kokanee Salmon are slow due to low population. Please practice catch and release on all Northern Pike to help preserve this diminishing resource. Brown Trout have been hitting small spinners, spoons, diving or suspending jerk baits in the inlet and along rocky shorelines early AM. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Randy H
Lake Granby - Boat Ramp Hours are 6am - 6pm. Water level is at 90% or approximately 8 ft below full. Fishing for rainbows has been good. Look for them in 15’ of water and under along the rocky shorelines. A variety of baits such as silver/pink/blue spinners, small jerkbaits, and slip bobber with tungsten jig and silkie have all been producing fish. Brown trout action has slowed as the fish are looking to spawn and have moved out of the lake for the most part. Lake trout action is excellent with the fish moving closer towards spawning areas as the water cools. Look for them in 35-55ft of water. Spoons, blade baits, tubes and jigging raps are all producing fish. Keep your baits tipped with fresh sucker meat and pay attention to the details of the jigging cadence that is getting bites, each day its a little different but once you dial in the cadence the fish will bite!
