Grand County fishing report for the week of 3-16-20

Here is your Grand County fishing report for the week of 3-16-20. The ice is in spring fishing conditions. Be very careful around shorelines, inlets any shallow rocky areas. 

Lake Granby has been getting a little tougher for large fish but the smaller fish are feeling the season change and eating. There is a group of lake trout suspending over very deep water, these fish have been eating twisters, tubes and spoons tipped with sucker meat. Another good bite is in 70-90' of water. Tubes and twisters are working very well here. Rainbows and a few browns are being caught around the shorelines. Small jigs tipped with wax worms should get bit till the sun comes up and shines on the ice. 

Grand Lake 3/15/20.  Spring conditions are here.  Minimal snow and slush on the lake, travel is easy both on foot and with machines.  Fishing has picked up and has been fair to good for all species.  Suspended lake trout have been active and eating small plastics, paddle tails and minnow imitations.  Using electronics and working your baits at the fish has been key.  Rainbows and browns are active in the inlet areas,  small tungsten jigs, ice flies and spoons will get some bites.  Be safe, spring ice conditions can change fast.

Williams Fork- Most of the snow on the ice is gone or crusted over from warm days recently. The Lake trout bite has been good in 50 to 70 feet of water with small spoons and jigs tipped with sucker meat. We have been seeing some groups of suspended fish in the 50 to 70 feet of water moving through anywhere from 10 to 30 feet off the bottom. Sam Hochevar- Guide, Fishing with Bernie.
