Middle park fishing report 2-25-19

Here is your middle park report for the week of 2-25-19 The ice is reaching over 20" on a lot of our lakes up here. Such is not much of a problem but the wind drifting snow is continuing to cause problems for people on the "back roads".

Lake Granby rainbows are fishing very well in 6-15' of water. Small bright colored tubes tipped with wax worms are doing very well before 9am. Lake trout are still eating Bio Bait tubes, try tipping them with a small piece of meat. The "suspended" bite is going very well over deep water. Look for fish cruising 40-60' deep over 100+ feet of water. A small grub fished in the schools will entice strikes. 

Williams Fork reservoir is fishing well for lake trout. Small grubs and spoons are getting bit by 15-20" fish on a regular basis. Rainbows have been slow. To book a trip call Sam at (720) 666-0141 to book with Jake ‭(303) 434-8468‬.

Grand lake has slowed down a bit.A few lake tout are being caught over deeper water.

Middle Park fishing report 2-18-19

Here is your middle park report for the week of 2-18-19. It seems if we're not getting -10 it's going to be very windy lately. Be careful on the back roads, the snow has been drifting and people are getting stuck. 

Williams Fork,  The fishing seems to have slowed down a little bit in the past week. Added pressure by anglers and inconsistent weather patterns are playing a big part in this. Ice is ranging in the 16-20 in range with a good amount of snow and slush on top.

The 12-20 inch lake trout are biting smaller jigs then they were last week. Bio Bait tubes, Fuzz-E-Grubs, Watsit grubs seems to be working best. Tip all jigs with a small piece of meat and add a little bit of scent for best results.
The Big Fish continue to roam and have been showing up but proving difficult to connect with. Large swim-baits well off the bottom have been getting the most action.
Rainbows and Browns continue to cruise the shallows. Panfish Leech Flutter spoons worked aggressively and small, bright colored jigs topped with wax worms seem to be working best. Concentrate your efforts in 6-15 feet of water for best results.

Grand Jake Foos and Sam Hochevar teamed up on this report. To book a trip with either of them call Sam at (720) 666-0141 to book with Jake ‭(303) 434-8468‬.Grand Lake, The lake trout bites has slowed but they are still being caught on small tubes. Suspended fish are stating to show up in the deeper water. Bio Baits twister tails have been getting bit by these fish. Tip them with a small piece of sucker meat and fish just above the suspended fish. Rainbows have gotten a little tougher also, keeping fresh bait on your jigs will help.

It's an early bite and over with by 9 am on most days. Bright colored jigs tipped with wax worms are producing fish in the 10-14" range. Lake trout are being caught in the 50-80' range. Suspenders are starting to show up. Look over very deep water for these fish. Small  jigs and spoons are working well.The Fishing with Bernie team has been guiding in Grand county for over 25 years.

Middle Park ice fishing report for the week of 2-11-19

Here is your middle park report for the week of 2-11-19. The wind has made the surface of the lakes very rough and has blown snow off some areas. Be careful traveling around the lake. 

Williams Fork: Fishing for small lake trout (12''-18'') has slowed down a bit this week. Fish are still active from sunrise until around 1 or 2 in the afternoon, but we are getting a lot of followers and short strikes. Small pieces of sucker meat seem to help produce more quality bites. We are starting to see a lot of suspended fish off the bottom so keep an eye on the entire water column when looking at your electronics. Small swimbaits have been effective on the suspended fish. The large lake trout have been hit or miss, Some large fish have been showing up on structure in 50 to 70' of water but bites have been tough to come by.  Due to the increased pressure on the lake, you really need to have a flawless presentation to entice a strike. Pay special attention to fine details when watching your electronics and adjust accordingly to entice a strike. Fishing for rainbows and brown has remained slow to moderate with most of the action happening early in the morning, right around sunrise, using small jigs tipped with a wax worm, salmon egg and weighted nymphs on large shallow flats and bays. Sam Hochevar, To book a trip with Sam call him at (720)666-0141

Grand Lake is fishing well. Rainbows are still around the shorelines eating small bright colored jigs and spoons. It helps to tip them with wax worms, meal worms or shrimp. Lake trout are eating 1"-3" tubes, twisters and spoons. Tip them with sucker meat, fish them 30-8-' deep.  To book a trip on Grand Lake call Dan Shannon (303) 956-3804 or Jake Foos ‭(303) 434-8468‬.

Lake Granby, The rainbows are very eager to bite small jigs tipped with bait. 6-10' of water seems to be the key. They do bite early, the bite slows down about the time the sun hits the ice. There seems to be a shrinking window for the lake trout bite. Its been early till around 11:00 then it gets a little tougher. Soft plastics, marabous and spoons tipped with a small piece of sucker meat should get some bites.

Middle park ice fishing report 2-5-19

This middle park fishing report is being brought to you by the Fishing with Bernie team for the week of 2-5-19. We are seeing very little slush around the lake. We could use some snow on the ice to help make the ride smoother. 

Williams Fork is still fishing well for smaller lake trout in the 12-17'' range, using small plastics in the 1 to 3 inch range. These plastics have been most productive when tipped with small pieces of sucker meat. The key seems to be to keep moving around structure in 30 - 70 feet of water until you find the greatest concentration of fish. Quite a few fish have started showing up suspended in the water column, so keep an eye on your fish finder and be looking for those fish. Rainbow action has remained slow to moderate with a fewlargefish being caught. Most of the rainbow action will be in shallow and will happen from sunrise and will last about 2 hours, small spoons tipped with wax or meal worms have been producing fish. The pike have been hit and miss with most of the fish being caught in 20 feet of water or less. Slush has improved from last week, however there are some nasty spots remaining. Look for snow that appears darker or slightly grey than the areas around it and avoid these areas as they are likely slushy. To book a trip with Sam call him at (720)666-0141

Grand Lake is fishing well for lake trout in 30-80' of water. Small grubs tipped with sucker meat are working well. Rainbows and browns are along the shoreline and hitting small bright colored jigs in 5-10' of water. To book a trip on Grand Lake call Dan Shannon (303) 956-3804 or Jake Foos ‭(303) 434-8468‬.

Lake Granby is fishing very good for lake trout. Fish the 50-8-' depths with tubes, spoons or minor baits tipped with a small piece of sucker meat. Rainbows are being caught along the shorelines very early in the morning with small bright colored jigs in less than 15' of water.
