6-28-2013 fishing report

This Lake Granby area fishing report has been brought to you by "Fishing with Bernie". The run off is about over and the bugs are hatching on the rivers. The Frazier river through Winter Park is fishing well for brookies and rainbows. The Colorado river through Rocky mountain national park is fishing excellent for brook trout and the Tonahuto and Adams creek near Grand lake is fishing very well for brookies. Grand lake still has some brown trout hanging around the shoreline as well as a lot of rainbow are being caught also. Shadow mountain spillway and the river below it is producing browns, rainbows and a few lake trout with lures early and late. There are some kokanee biting jigs and waxworms under a bobber very early in the morning. The rainbows and browns in Granby have moved a little further off the shoreline in the lakes but are still catchable. Worms and powerbait are producing rainbows, the browns are still eating rapalas and crawdad imitations. The Lake trout have continued their downward descent into the depths. They can still be caught trolling plugs or jigging. Tube jigs with a small piece of sucker meat have been working well.

Crankbaits, Swimbaits and really big fish!!!

The sun had just begun to send its rays through the peaks on the continental divide and a small chop from the morning breeze kept slapping the boat. I had the Crestliner a long cast from shore. Steve had a Sebile Magic Swimmer and cast it towards the bank. About 5 or 6 cranks of the handle it stopped for a brief second Steve wondered if it was a snag then felt the head throb of a large fish. After a brief battle, the 34” lake trout surrendered to my net.

6-15-13 Lake Granby Fishing Report

This lake Granby fishing report is brought to you by "Fishing with Bernie". While that young amorous bull moose in Grand Lake has been introducing himself to a statue, the fish have not noticed. The rainbows in Willow Creek and Grand Lake continue to eat bait and lures (kastmasters, pk flutterfish and worms)early and late in the day. The brown trout in Grand Lake and Granby are still eating lures (minnow style jerkbaits and 2-3" "Gulp minnow"cast around rocky shorelines, that bite is very good early, late and in the wind. The CPW stocked 1.5 million Kokanee last week but they were about an inch long, don't get your hopes up this summer. They will be catchable in a couple years. The lakers in Granby and Grand lake are moving deeper each day, my Lowrance HDS sonar units help find those fish and a jig with a small piece of sucker meat is working very well. Bernie Keefe has been a fishing guide on Lake Granby for 15 years.For more info or contact me through my websitewww.fishingwithbernie.com

6-3-13 Fishing report

This lake Granby fishing report is brought to you by "Fishing with Bernie". This spring has been a tough one for the pelicans and osprey's until last week. The CPW stocked lake Granby with 2000 catchable rainbows. Some of the ospreys were thinking about moving south for the summer while the pelicans were starting to look slim and trim. The bird world is now fat, sassy and happy.
