Here is your Grand County fishing report for the week of 8-23-20
Grand Lake - Lake trout are hanging in 40 to 70 feet of water. The lake trout bite has picked up a bit this week with most days having a decent bite in the morning. Jigging is the best way to target lake trout right now. Browns and rainbows can be found near the surface at first light and between 15 and 25 feet of water by mid morning. Trolling at these depths have produced most of the browns and rainbows. Sam Hochevar Guide Fishing with Bernie
Williams Fork - Water capacity is 91% and dropping. Ramp hours are 6AM to 8PM daily. Surface temp is 64 warming to 67 late in the day. Lake Trout are biting well once you locate a group. We're starting to see mixed age groups bunched up. Look for them in 80 to 90 foot. Small rubber grubs tipped with sucker meat worked on the bottom will get bites. Rainbows are slow in the shallow water areas around the campgrounds. Your best bet is the deeper drop offs bottom fishing with bait, or casting small spinners in the inlet. Kokanee trolling is slow but trollers are catching a few in 40 to 50 foot along with small Lake Trout. Northern Pike are slow. We're seeing followers in the bays, but they don't want to hit.

Lake Granby- A few rainbows are being caught from the banks with bait. the bite is best early and late in the day. Trollers are picking up a few over the deeper water. Night fishing continues to improve for the browns. Minnow baits of large flies are getting bit. Lake trout are eating small grubs tipped with sucker meat. Try 60'-90', the best bite has been before 11.
