Grand Lake - Boat ramp hours are 6am-8pm. Fishing remains good for all species. Brown trout and Rainbows are most active early and late in the day. Kastmaster and Little Cleo spoons worked along the shorelines, as well as Pink and silver Blue Fox spinners have all been working well. Lake trout are being in caught in 35-65 ft of water. Jig with small dark colored or glowing grub tipped with sucker has been best producing bait. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon.
Williams Fork - Ramp hours are 6AM to 8PM daily. Water capacity is at 96%, a tad over 2 feet low. With all the rain and snow melt in flow is at 733 cfs, out flow is 229 cfs. Morning surface temp is 56 warming to 59 mid-day. Visibility has improved to about 8 feet. Since the river is so high there still plenty of floating and partially submerged debris on the lake, so keep an eye out for that. The Lake Trout bite is very good early AM tapering off around 8 - 8:30AM then picking back up again about 4:30PM. Look for all age groups in 50 to 60 feet of water. Early morning they'll bite most any plastics, tubes and twister tail type grubs tipped with sucker meat is working best for us. When the bite drops off down size your jig and add scent. I haven't fished Pike, but I've seen boats fishing for them. Ramp talk is very few are hooking up. Please practice catch and release on all Northern Pike. Rainbow and Kokanee fishing is slow due to low population, but folks bottom fishing from the shore with bait are catching plenty of Crawdads. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Randy H.
Lake Granby - Lake is 100% full Water temp is in the low 60’s throughout the day. Sunset Boat Launch is open 7 days a week 6am to 8pm while Stillwater Boat Launch is open Friday-Sunday 6am to 8pm. Fishing has been good for Rainbow trout in the multiple creek inlet areas around the lake, as well as along the dam faces. Slip bobber w/Tungsten jig as well bright, flashy spoons and spinners have been producing bites. Brown trout action has been best in the windy evenings along rocky shorelines. An erractically retrieved crankbait or tube jig has been go-to bait. Lake trout are being caught in 40-65ft. Three to six inch tube jigs have been best bait, have an assortment of colors on hand as it seems to change by the day which works best. Stay mobile to locate the actively feeding fish, look for the more eager to bite fish in the less pressured areas of lake. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon.
