Lake Granby 1-28-2014 fishing report

[Bernie Keefe]

This Granby area fishing report is brought to you by Fishing with Bernie. The Three Lakes ice fishing contest had almost 1000 entrants this year with over 60 kids as well. The biggest fish brought to the scales was a 7 lb Rainbow followed by a 5 lb Rainbow. We had 11 pictures entered with the biggest fish caught and released being just over 40" in the catch and release category. Rainbows and Browns are being caught in Granby,Grand Lake, Wolford, Williams Fork and Willow Creek reservoirs in shallow water close to the banks. Small jigs tipped with bait are working well. Kokanee are biting well at Wolford and Willow Creek out in the old river channel with small PK spoons tipped with bait. Lake trout fishing is doing very well at Granby, Williams Fork and Green Mountain Reservoirs, 2"-4" jigs tipped with sucker meat is working in 40-80 feet of water.

Hi Bernie,

Thank you for that information on the contest, I was wanting to hear the results.

Saturday I am going fishing on Lake Granby. I have never fished it before and my intent is going after lakers. I don't have a snowmobile, but I have a sled.

What bays or coves are good for this? I appreciate it very much.

Thanks!

Michael

To get away from the fishermen, I would walk off sunset point and fish the far side of the bay. There is a steeper slope so I would concentrate on the bottom of the break.
