Went to Granby for the first time this year.My usual fishing spot in the past was in water 65' to 75'. The Vex read 10'. Caught 1 lost Mac. Fished for about a hour,packed up and went scouting for new places.

Ice Cube- How much snow is up there? Last time I drove by Granby we were commenting on how far were gonna have to walk to get to the lake from the parking lot at Sunset Point. I have been stuck in town since before Christmas. Does anyone know the date for Granby ice tournament? I havent got anything in the mail from them.

If your walking from Sunset Point plan on along walk to fishable water. It's over a mile to ice from my cabin. Thank God for snowmobiles! I fished at Granby this past Saturday (12-28-02) through Monday and caught and released over 60 fish. The biggest were 24". The ice was 6" thick in the middle of the lake and 10"-12' closer to shore. All those GPS waypoints we have marked over the years are now out of water or to shallow to fish currently. Small 2" white gitzits seemed to work the best. We caught macks on 4" gitzits (with sucker meat)but they seemed to prefer the smaller jigs (with wax worms). We did best in 40'to 50' of water. Good Luck!!

If you park at sunset point and walk down the ramp,turn right at bottom of ramp and walk around the point towards arapahoe bay thats where you find deep water,thats what I did and I'll never do it again.Drive on past the entrance to sunset point and find a place to park and walk down.Travel lite.
We are going again Sat. but this time I'm taking my pack frame to strap the auger to.

Good Fishin
