Grand Lake - IMPORTANT! - Ice conditions in the normal areas of moving water (Including Shadow Mtn) will be changing rapidly, the pumps will be turning back on March 5th, ice conditions will be rapidly changing and potentially unsafe in areas that were once safe. Use Caution when traveling the lakes from now until the end of the season. Fishing has been fair for all species. Rainbow trout and brown trout bite has been best on small jointed Clam Pinhead-Mino spoons tipped with a waxie or gulp maggot. Stay mobile and target areas 10ft of water and under at sunrise and sunset. Lake trout action has been best in the 65-90ft range, Radical glow grubs and Power grubs tipped with a small piece of sucker meat and covered in your favorite scent has been producing bites. - Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon.
Williams Fork Reservoir - The slush conditions have settled down for now and the travel has been good, though we did get a storm this weekend. Fishing for rainbow trout and brown trout has been slow due to the on going gill lice correction and no stocking. Lake trout action has been fair to good depending on the day. Best action for lake trout has been on the break lines in 50-80ft of water, with P&D Lure Co. 3” tubes and grubs in Chartreuse, pink or white colors, If the bite slows that means its time for a deadstick bait resting on the bottom. Tip it with a small piece of fresh sucker to entice extra bites! - Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon.
Lake Granby - IMPORTANT! - Ice conditions in the normal areas of moving water (Including Shadow Mtn) and shallow areas will be changing rapidly, the pumps will be turning back on March 5th, ice conditions will be rapidly changing and potentially unsafe in areas that were once safe. Use Caution when traveling the lakes from now until the end of the season. Lake is currently approximately 10ft below full. Rainbow trout and brown trout action has been fair. Best bite has been along the dam faces and inlets of creeks in less than 12ft of water. A Jawjacker with a white atomic tube or bright pink Swedish pimple spoon tipped with waxie has been best producers. Lake trout action has been fair to slow depending on the day. Best action has been in 60-90ft of water on heavier profile grubs and 3” tubes in pink and white colors, when the bite is tough downsize to a Simcoe bug tipped with sucker to keep the finicky fish biting. Action on trophy fish has been slow, but hopefully improving as water starts moving in the system this week. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon
