Fishing Report 1/29/24

Grand Lake - Travel conditions vary from hard frozen in the frequently traveled areas to deep snow and slush, be prepared for a little of everything. Fishing has been fair to good for all species. Rainbow and brown trout action is best along the north shoreline in 4-12’ of water with Clam jointed pinhead spoons, bull fly jigs or caviar drop jigs tipped with wax worm or gulp. Don’t sleep in because this is an early bite! Lake trout action has been fair. Look for them in 40-90ft of water. Best action has been on a black grub tipped with sucker. Stay moving until you find an area that fish come in to consistently. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon.

Williams Fork Reservoir. Travel on the lake is pretty good overall with the sun beating down the deep snow. Fishing has been fair for lake trout and slow for all other species. Look for best lake trout action in 50-70ft of water with crawfish colored tubes and grubs tipped with fresh sucker. Try to find an area where there has been few holes drilled as these areas the fish tend to bite better.

Lake Granby - Travel on the lake varies depending on your location. The areas around the boat ramps are packed down after the traffic from the tournament, as you head east on the lake the snow gets deeper and slush more frequent. Don’t be fooled by what you see in front of the access points, be prepared for just about any and all conditions as we are seeing quite a bit of everything. Fishing for Rainbow and Brown trout was good through the weekend. Best action was in rocky areas with various pink and silver spoons as well as Simcoe bug tipped with wax worm. Lake trout bite has been good to very good. Best action has been in 55-80ft of water with a variety of dark, natural colored plastic lures tipped with sucker meat. As we fish through the week after the fishing contest the name of the game is going to be finding the unpressured areas, as those fish will be more eager to bite!

Grand County Fishing Report 1/22/24

Grand Lake - Ice is 12”+ with plenty of snow on top with slush in areas. Fishing for Rainbow trout and Brown Trout has been good in the mornings and slows during mid-day hours. Jointed Pinhead jigs, atomic tubes and Clam Silkie on a tungsten jig have all been working well. Target the 8-15ft of water range. Lake trout action has been fair, best action has been 40-70ft with dark colored tubes tipped with sucker meat and your favorite scent. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon.

Williams Fork - Ice is 10”+ and snow covered. Finding a little slush in areas, good water proof boots are a must have. Fishing for lake trout has been good. Target them in 40-80ft of water along the main lake structure and use 2-3” crawfish colored plastics tipped with fresh sucker for best action. If fish aren’t moving through consistently it’s time to move, been taking a few holes to find the active spot but once you find it, don’t leave fish to find fish!

Lake Granby - Ice is 7-10” and snow covered. Slush is present throughout the entire lake, some areas better than others so don’t be fooled if the area you are in is solid. Lots of snowmobiles and a few ATV’s have been out and traveling the lake, be sure to have recovery gear if you are traveling by machine. Fishing has been fair to good for all species. Look for your best rainbow trout action along the dam faces and in the inlets, small tungsten tipped with a wax worm or Clam Silkie has been producing fish. Target the 12 ft and under depths. Brown trout action has been good first thing in the morning and very last light, 2-3” tubes and bright colored spoons worked in the rock to mud transition areas has been a consistent pattern. Lake trout action has been good. Target the 35-75 ft range with deeper water close by. 2” grubs, tubes and minnow imitations in natural colors tipped with fresh sucker meat has been working very well. Make sure those hooks are sharp and you are paying close attention to those light lake trout bites! Good luck to everyone in the tournament this weekend!! Look for the Fishing with Bernie guide team at the weigh station and say Hi. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon.

Grand County Fishing Report 10/30/23

This will be the last report of the year until we start ice fishing! Get out and enjoy the great fall action.

Grand Lake - Ramp hours 6am-6pmFishing has been very good for rainbow trout both from the boat and from the shore. Pink or green Vibramax Spinners and erratically worked crankbaits have been producing well fished around the shoreline in 10ft and shallower water. Lake trout bite has been very good, look for them in 25-50ft of water, glow grubs and chartreuse spoons tipped with sucker jigged right on bottom are producing great numbers of fish. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon

Williams Fork - Ramp will be closed to trailer launched craft on 10/31. The water level is 84%, or 10 feet low. Due to the heavy algae bloom this fall visibility is about 10 feet. Surface temp is 52 degrees. The Lake Trout bite on keeper fish has been excellent. It's pretty easy to catch limits of keepers right now even though the fish are not grouped up like I've seen in past seasons. Look for them in 65 to 70 feet of water near drops, or on the flat of a drop. Small tubes, grubs or twister tail type plastics tipped with sucker meat is working well fished gently on or just above the bottom. Rainbow Trout and Kokanee Salmon are slow due to low/no population. Northern Pike is also slow. Please practice catch and release on all Northern Pike to help preserve the declining population. Until next open water season, Fishing with Bernie Guide, Randy H

Lake Granby - Stillwater Boat Ramp is open 6am-spm 7days a week. Water temperatures are peaking in the low 50’s during the day. Water level is 90% or approximately 8ft low. Fishing for Rainbow trout has been good. Chartreuse or Pink Vibramax spinners and Kastmasters along the rocky shorelines has been working very well. Lake trout action has been excellent. Look for them in 20-50ft of water. A variety of 2-3” soft plastics or 3/8oz and 1/2oz spoons jigged right along bottom has been working, with the color varying daily. Best suggestion for the lake trout is to have a good selection of colors and baits on hand and if you are on fish and not getting bit, change up till you find what they are liking that day, and keep your sucker meat small and very fresh!

Grand County Fishing Report 10/16/2023

Grand Lake - Boat ramp hours 6am-6pm. Water temperature is in the low 50’s. Fishing has been good to very good. Rainbow trout have been very active and aggressive in water less than 10ft, key areas have been rocky shorelines and moving water of the inlets. Lake trout are in their spawn locations, target these fish in 30-50ft of water, flutter spoons and slab spoons tipped with sucker have been working well, Have a good selection on hand and change colors often till you find the one they will bite consistently. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon.

Williams Fork - The east boat ramp hours are 7AM to 7PM. The water level is 85%, just under 10 feet low. The ramp should be usable this season to the October 31 close date. Due to algae bloom visibility has dropped to about 10 feet. The surface temp has dropped four degrees from last week running 54 early AM. Lake Trout have been biting good. Some days they are on early AM as soon as you get on spot, other days it takes them a while to get going, but they are very catchable. Look for mixed age groups in 70 to 80 feet of water. The Lake Trout are not grouped up yet and they're hugging the bottom which makes them difficult to locate on sonar. If you find one stop and drop, there's more there. This last week we saw fish ranging in size from 8" to 35" biting small tubes, twister or paddle tail grubs tipped with fresh sucker meat fished gently on, or just above the bottom. Adding scent helps if the bite slow, and they'll hold the bait a bit longer helping with hook-set. Browns have been biting early am along the rocks north of the east boat ramp. 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 the declining population. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Randy H

Lake Granby - Boat ramp hours are 6am to 6pm, Stillwater boat ramp is the only ramp currently open. Water level is at 90% or approximately 8ft below full and water temperatures have been in the low 50’s. Fishing has been excellent for rainbows and lake trout. Rainbow trout are very active in 20ft and less of water, in the areas of the spawning fall fish (Browns, lake trout and kokanee) and along the rocky shorelines. Bright flashy lures such as Vibramax spinners, and flutter spoons have been producing fish. Lake trout action has been excellent with the fish moved up to their spawn locations. Look for them in 20-50ft of water, spoons, tubes and grubs have all been producing fish. Color of the lure seems to be the biggest factor once you locate the fish and can be different each day even changing at each spot so have a good selection of lures on hand as well as some fresh sucker meat to keep your lures freshly tipped. This is a great time of year to catch a lot of fish, don’t miss out! Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon.

Grand County Fishing Report 10/2/23

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!

Rainbow trout action has been excellent in the inlet areas, along the rocks by the town docks as well as the mouth of the channel leading to Shadow Mountain Res. Pink and chartreuse spinners, Dynamic HD trout jerk baits, or for the fly angler leech and egg patterns have been working well. Lake trout action is excellent with the fish on their spawning locations. Spoons, blade baits or dark colored jig head with glow grub have all been producing fish when tipped with a small piece of fresh sucker. Look for fish in 30 to 50 ft of water, if the fish stop biting sometimes it takes just small moves (5 to 10ft) to find the active fish again. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon

 Williams Fork Reservoir - The east boat ramp hours are 7AM to 7PM. The water level is dropping quiclky. Current capacity is 90%, or 6 feet low. Surface temp is 60 warming to 62 on calm sunny days. With the cold nights and cooler water temp the Lake Trout bite has been very good till about noon, then the bite slows. This last week we've been seeing 10 to 20 fish per rod as the fish are grouping up for spawn. Look for mixed age groups of Laker's in 80 to 90 feet of water. Most any plastic tipped with sucker meat sucker meat fished on or near the bottom is producing bites. When the bite slows add your favorite scent and down size your jig body. Brown Trout are colored up and getting ready to spawn. They have been active in the inlet and rocky areas north of the east boat ramp early AM. Small spinners, suspending or diving jerk baits are a good choice. Northern Pike, Rainbow Trout and Kokanee Salmon are slow due to low populations. Please practice catch and release on all Northern Pike to help preserve the diminishing resource. Randy H - Guide Fishing with Bernie

Lake Granby - Boat Ramp hours are 6am to 6pm. Lake is at 91% full or approximately 7 ft below full. Fall fishing is picking up every day as the water temperatures continue to cool, temperatures are hovering around 60 degrees currently depending on time of day. Rainbow trout action has been good in Arapahoe Bay in the campground area. Silver spinners and spoons in 1/8oz to 1/4oz sizes have been working well as well as size F5 or F7 original floating Rapalas in silver/black or rainbow pattern. The lake trout action is improving daily as the fish are moving up on their spawning areas. Look for them in 30 to 55ft of water, Clam XL Flutter Spoons or Dark colored jig head with glow body tipped with fresh sucker have been top producing lures. This lake trout spawn bite should only improve as the water cools, don’t miss out! Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon.

Grand County Fishing Report 9/18/23

Grand Lake - Boat Ramp Hours are 6am-6pm. Rainbow Trout action has been improving with the cooler water temperatures. Trolling or casting Silver w/pink or orange spoons and spinners has been producing fish. Brown trout action has been fair with most fish being caught in the inlet areas or in the streams on small crank baits. Lake trout action is fair witih fish staging for the approaching spawn. Look for them in 40-65 ft of water, jigging a variety of spoons and small plastics tipped with sucker has been producing fish with glow colors working better than natural colors. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon.

Williams Fork Reservoir - The east boat ramp hours are 7AM to 7PM. Water capacity is 93%, or 4.6 feet low. My last trip out the surface temp was 62.7 and warmed to 66 mid-day. Visibility is about 12 feet. The Lake Trout bite has been good on keeper size fish, but the big fish are pretty tough to locate. Best depth to fish right now for all age groups is between 80 to 90 feet. Tubes, twisters or paddle tale grubs tipped with sucker meat fished within a few inches of the bottom is getting fish. If the morning bite slows start adding scent and try downsizing your jig. By noon fishing gets slow. Kokanee Salmon and Rainbow Trout are nearly impossible to catch due to little or no population. Brown Trout are getting ready to spawn and have been active in the inlet and rocky areas early AM. Small spinners, suspending or diving jerk baits are a good choice. Northern Pike are slow, so slow that I rarely see anyone fishing for them. Best chance of hooking up with a Pike is early AM, late PM or during an approaching front. Please practice catch and release on all Northern Pike to help preserve this declining resource. Randy H - Guide Fishing with Bernie

Lake Granby - Boat Ramp hours are 6am-6pm. Water level is 92% and dropping, approximately 6ft from full pool. Water temperatures cooling, low 60’s during the mornings warming to mid 60’s by the afternoon. Rainbow trout action has been good. Silver/pink spoons and spinners cast or trolled along the dam faces and around the islands has had good success. Brown trout action has been fair, look for the best brown trout action in the moving water in the creek and inlet areas, an erratically worked spoon or jerk bait will produce bites. Lake trout action has been fair, fish are in their pre-spawn areas in 45-70ft of water. Jigging Spoons or small dark green and black grubs with a bright pink or chartreuse head have been producing best on most days. Switching up to a glow color if the bite slows has been enticing some additional bites. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon.

Grand County Fishing Report Week of 9/11/23

Grand Lake - Boat ramp hours are 6am-6pm. Fishing for all species is improving as the water temperatures are dropping. Rainbow trout and Brown trout action has been good along the shallow shorelines and main lake breaks into deep water. Small jerkbaits and spoons worked erratically will produce bites. Lake trout are moving up towards their spawning structure. Look for them in 30-50ft of water. Spoons, jigging raps, and blade baits tipped with a small piece of sucker have been our go to baits. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon.

Williams Fork - The east boat ramp has new hours for the remainder of the season, 7AM to 7PM. Water capacity is 95%, just over 3 feet low. The surface temp is cooling down, it's been running 63/64 early AM warming to 66 on calm sunny days. A couple more weeks of cool nights and we'll be into a great fall bite! The Lake Trout bite has been picking up. The last few trips out clients could easily put 20 to 30 "catch your limit" size fish in the boat, but trophy class fish are pretty tough to find right now. Mixed age groups can be found in 80 to 90 feet of water. Currently we're using natural-colored tubes or twister/paddle tail grubs tipped with sucker meat and scent fished gently within a few inches of the bottom. The fish are belly down on the bottom which makes it tough to locate a group of fish, but if you find one that's up... there's more nearby. By noon the bite gets pretty slow until late afternoon. Kokanee Salmon and Rainbow Trout are slow due to a low population of both species, they haven't been stocked since 2019. Northern Pike are also slow due to a declining population. The last couple of weeks I haven't seen anyone fishing for them. Best chance of hooking up on a Pike is during an approaching storm or low light conditions with choppy water. Please practice catch and release on all Northern Pike to help preserve this diminishing resource. Brown Trout have been active early AM in the inlet near where the river meets the lake, and along the rocky cliffs north of the east boat ramp. Small spinners, count down or suspending jerk baits have been producing a few fish. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Randy H

Lake Granby - Boat ramp hours are 6am-6pm. Rainbow trout action has been improving as the water temperatures are dropping. Flashy silver colored spoons and spinners worked along the rocky shorelines and around the islands have been a good pattern. Lake trout action has slowed a bit as they start moving towards their spawning locations but should pick up with the dropping water temperature. Look for them in 50-70ft of water along the main lake channels. Spoons and plastic grubs in dark colors tipped with sucker meat have been the most consistent baits. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon.

Grand County Fishing Report 9/4/2023

Grand Lake - New boat ramp hours are 6am-6pm. Fishing for all species has been fair. Rainbow and brown trout action is best at sunrise. Dry flies and hopper patterns have been producing either with fly gear or with a spinning gear and a bubble. Kastmasters and Little Cleo spoons are also producing fish, best colors have been silver with a bright contrasting color. Lake trout action has been fair. Look for them in 50-90ft of water and pay close attention to electronics we are seeing lots of suspended fish. Glow grubs and flutter spoons jigged on the bottom tipped with a small piece of sucker are working well, with the spoon producing best for those suspended fish when you real up to them. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon.

Williams Fork - The NEW east boat ramp hours are 7AM to 7PM. Water capacity is 97%, just under 2 feet low. Inflow is 51cfs, outflow is 211cfs. Surface temp has been running 66 early AM warming to 68. Visibility is about 15 feet. The Lake Trout bite has picked up compared to last week's slow bite. Mixed age groups can be found in 70 to 90 feet on top of, or at the bottom of steep drops. Small tubes, twister or paddle tail grubs tipped with sucker meat fished gently on the bottom will produce bites. If the bite slows start adding gel or spray scent. If the bite doesn't pick up it's time to move. Keeper size fish are holding very tight to the bottom (they're hiding from big fish) which makes them hard to locate, but if you find one stop and drop, there's more fish in the area. Kokanee Salmon and Rainbow Trout are slow due to little/no population. Northern Pike are also slow due to a declining population. Best chance of hooking up is during an approaching storm. Please practice catch and release on all Northern Pike to help preserve the diminishing resource. Brown Trout have been active early AM in the inlet and along the rock cliffs north of the east boat ramp. Small #3 or 4 Mepps type spinners or sinking countdown jerk baits have been producing some fish. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Randy H

Lake Granby - New boat ramp hours are 6am-6pm. Water level is at 96.5% or approximately 5 ft below full. Water temps are in the upper 60’s and should be starting to cool with the days getting shorter. Fishing for rainbows and browns has been fair. Best rainbow trout action has been in Columbine or Arapahoe Bay. Trollers are reporting success with cowbells and spinner tipped with a piece of worm in 12-18’ of water. For shore anglers look for rocky shore lines that drop off quickly, smaller jerk baits such as a Dynamic HD Trout or Rapala X-rap in rainbow trout colors has been producing bites. Lake trout action has remained good, look for them in 60-100ft of water. Found better action with dark colored jigs this week with a black or pumpkin colored bitsy tube tipped with sucker as best producing baits. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon.

Grand County Fishing Report 8/28/2023

Grand Lake - Boat Ramp Hours are 6am-8pm. Water temperature is in the mid 60’s. Daily traffic on the lake has started to slow. Fishing for rainbow trout and brown trout has been fair. Kastmasters, Flutter spoons and small crankbaits have been producing fish. Best action has been early and late in the day along the shallow to deep water breaks or in the inlets where water is cooler. Lake trout action has been fair to good depending on the day. Look for the lake trout in 50-100ft of water, down size your presentation and pay close attention as these fish bite light! A dark colored head 1/4-3/8oz, with a glow grub tipped with a small piece of fresh sucker has been a great producer lately. Look for some suspended fish moving through as well and have a spoon handy as the suspended fish when they are around are eager to bite that more active presentation. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon.

Williams Fork - The east boat ramp hours are 6AM to 8PM. Water capacity is at 98%. With the recent rains inflow has temporally increased to 203cfs, out flow is 115cfs. Surface temp is 67 warming a degree or two by mid-day. Visibility is excellent at 12 to 15 feet. I don't really know if all the recent storm fronts effected the Lake Trout bite, or if the dog days of summer finally hit, or a combination of both... but the Lake Trout bite has slowed dramatically from my last report. Look for all age groups in 70 to 90 feet of water. This last week brightly colored jigs or tubes tipped with sucker meat and scent fished gently on the bottom produced a bite every 20 to 30 minutes. Small Brown Trout have been active in the inlet and along the rock cliffs north of the boat ramp early AM. Due to low population density Northern Pike, Rainbow Trout and Kokanee Salmon are slow. Please practice catch and release on all Northern Pike. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Randy H.

Lake Granby - Boat Ramp hours are 6am-8pm 7 days a week with both Stillwater and Sunset ramps open. Water level is dropping and is currently at 95% or approximately 4 ft low. Water temperatures are hovering in the high 60’s. Fishing for rainbow and brown trout has been fair. Best action has been in the early evenings until sunset. Best action is on a slip bobber with either a small atomic tube or piece of worm. Drift this presentation in the current around the inlet creeks or cast and retrieve very slowly along the rocky dam faces. Some success is also reported by trollers or casting shorelines with pink spinners or spoons. Lake trout action has remained very good. Starting to see some groups of fish who are lure shy, but with a move to another location and plenty of eager fish to bite. Look for lake trout in 60-90 ft of water. 3/8oz jig head with a contrasting color head and small natural colored plastic tube, grub or crawfish imitation tipped with sucker has been best producing bait. When dealing with finicky fish, don’t forget your spoons or minnow imitation baits, that change of pace can turn on negative fish. Fishing with Bernie Guide, Dan Shannon.
