Here is your Grand County fishing report for the week of Feb.
\n3. Most of the bitter cold weather should be giving way to some nicer days so don’t
\nforget the sunscreen and sunglasses. <\/p>\n
Grand Lake: <\/strong>Conditions on Grand Lake are consistent for this time of year. There are a few pockets of slush, but overall travel is easy on the ice right now.<\/p>\n Fishing has been up and down with the weather. Rainbows and Lake trout are being found all over the lake in depths from 65-100 Lake Granby: <\/strong>We are seeing very little slush. Walkers and ATVs are getting around very well. Rainbows and browns are in the shallows, eating small jigs tipped with wax worms early in the morning.<\/p>\n Look for inside turns and rock to mud transitions. Lake Williams Fork: <\/strong>The ice is holding right at 10-12 inches thick and depending on the day, the snow on top is averaging 6 inches. Pressure continues to be pretty high, but the fish are still biting well.<\/p>\n Rainbows and browns are being caught up shallow, very early The lake trout in Williams Fork are averaging 12-18 inches
\nbrowns are being caught early and late in the day in less than 15 feet of water
\non small ice flies or jigs tipped with wax worm. Fish are being found in the
\nareas around the inlets.<\/p>\n
\nfeet. Biobait DNA Go tubes in smelt and rainbow trout colors tipped with a small
\npiece of sucker meat has been consistently getting bites. For best results, move
\noften and work the entire water column to find the active fish. Don\u2019t forget
\nabout those suspended fish. \u2014 Dan Shannon, guide<\/p>\n
\ntrout are a still eating pretty consistent throughout the day. Tubes, spoons,
\ntwisters and bait are all getting bit. Keep moving till you find a group that
\nwill eat. <\/p>\n
\nand late in the day. If you plan on fishing for these, drill your holes well
\nbefore sunrise for the best shot at a nice fish. Small tungsten jigs and spoons
\nlike a Clam Caviar or Panfish Leech Flutter spoon have been best. Don\u2019t forget
\nto tip these will a small wax worm for best results.<\/p>\n
\nwhen targeting numbers. The 60-90 foot range has been best with quite a few
\nsuspended fish showing themselves in the middle of the column. White has been
\nthe best color when selecting a soft plastic and having a very sharp hook is
\nvery important.<\/p>\n
