Yes, thats why I'm trying to get the sled running. If the fish weigh in is at the Fire station again this year, its going to be a long haul from fishable water. Went up 2 weekends ago and caught lots of 18 to 20 in Macs but no big ones. Good luck if you go. I'll be with the group that has the six wheeler Argo with a track system on it.( I Hope).

I fished Granby this weekend and caught lots of macks between 17" and 23". Boy are these fish skinney. A friend (who lives next to the lake) caught a 37" 21lb. mack in 9'of water last week. He was fishing for rainbows near dike 3 and hooked the mack on 4lb. test. It took him over 45 mimutes to land the fish. He also said there is talk about completely draining Granby this spring. Has anyone else heard this.

Dan Dan, the fish weight in is at Beacon Landing Marina this year not the fire house as it was in the past, also the slot has changed. Under 20in. or over 38in.

I seem to remember reading that Granbys water level could drop below the pump and would be considered dead pool as far as use by water board.

Bry C - Maybe that's what my friend was refering to. Dead pool. I know that is the case right now. But I thought I heard him say completely empty the lake. If the level is below the outlet it would be impossible to empty the lake without satelite pumps. Lets hope that is not the case. I'll keep everyone posted with info as I receive it. Good luck to everyone fishing in the tournament.
