: Granby Reservoir - Fishing in the early morning and late evening are still the best times. Colder nights and brisk mornings are making fishing better and the fall spawning season is just around the corner. Trolling, using deep diving lures, lead line, and downriggers can find kokanee and lake trout. Jigging is very productive. Fly fishing the inlet streams, the Colorado river below Shadow Mountain and Arapaho Creek is very good; streamers, wooly buggers, emergers egg patterns, and some dry flies are working well. Rainbows can be found all around the reservoir. The water level is still high. Arapaho Bay is also fishing well. 8/29/2010 Grand Lake - Nights are becoming colder and mornings are brisk. Fish activity will be picking up. This lake is over 270' deep. It can be difficult, but very rewarding to learn to fish this lake. Very large lake trout, nice rainbows, browns, and kokanee salmon are available. Trolling, jigging, bait, lure, and fly fishing are all productive ways of catching these fish. Belly boats are useful. Two prime bank fishing areas are the mouth of the channel and around the West Portal. From Oct. 1st-June30th, all lakers 26-36 inches long must be released immediately. Rapalas, Mepps, Panther Martins, and Blue Fox spinners are only some of the lures used. Jigging with sucker meat is common and productive. 8/29/2010 Reported by: Colorado D.O.W |
