Middle Park fishing report for the week of 12-26-18

Here is your middle park fishing report for the week of 12-26-2018. Ice conditions are changing daily, please use extreme caution while walking on the ice.  Rainbows are being caught in 3'-8' of water. A 2 rod set up, one with a small spoon and the other with a small ice jig tipped with a meal worm seems to be working very well. Look for the rainbows and browns off of rocky/gravel points early in the morning. Kokanee are in deeper water generally suspending 10'-50' deep. They are following the plankton. Small bright colored spoons tipped with wax worms will entice strikes. Lake Trout are cruising in 30'-80' deep. Small soft plastics tipped with sucker meat should get bit. 

Grand lake has 5" or more of ice everywhere we have fished it. 

Shadow Mountain had 4" where we checked it.

Williams Fork still had open water as of the 22nd.

Granby has open water and plenty of spots with 1"-3" of ice.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND CHECK THE ICE AS YOU GO OUT!

Middle Park fishing report for the week of 12-18-18

Here is your middle park fishing report for the week of 12-18-2018. Ice conditions are changing daily, please use extreme caution while walking on the ice.  

Willow Creek is frozen and fishing is good too excellent for rainbows and salmon. Rainbows are along the shorelines eating small jigs tipped with sucker meat. Kokanee are in deeper water jigging bright colored spoons tipped with wax worms, shrimp or corn will attract them.

Grand Lake, Rainbows and browns are along the shoreline. They will be eating small jigs tipped with wax worms in 6'-10' of water. lake trout are in deeper (20'-80') water and are eating small jigs tipped with sucker meat. Keeping the jigs moving seemed to be important last week.

Williams Fork is getting real close. This past weekend we were able to get out in the coves and fish for rainbows and a couple small pike.  They ate small spoons tipped with wax worms. The rainbow bite on all these lakes is early, the best bite is over with by 9 am.

Shadow mountain is frozen. They started pumping again so there is water on the ice around Green ridge boat ramp. 

Granby is just starting to freeze. There is still some open water, casting spoons or jigs will entice lake trout.

Weekly fishing report for the week of 12-10-18

Here is your middle park fishing report for the week of 12-10-2018. Please use extreme caution while walking on the ice. Check it as you go. Grand Lake is frozen. Small jigs tipped with sucker meat are working for lake trout. Rainbows are eating tiny jigs tipped with wax worms or other larvae in the shallows.

Willow Creek is froze, rainbows are in the shallows eating ice jigs, small spoons and small jigging raps tipped with wax worms, worms or eggs. There are a few spawned out salmon along the shoreline. Don't move your lures too fast for these fish, they don't have any tails left.

Shadow is froze, Small browns and rainbows are eating tiny ice jigs early in the morning. Once the sun hits the ice it's over. 

Granby is getting closer but for now we still have lots of shore fishing to do. Casting lures like leech flutter spoons, last masters, tube jigs will get bit by rainbows, browns and lakers. The key is to keep moving till you catch fish. 

The north park lakes are froze, small jigs with wax worms fished in less than 10' of water will entice strikes from rainbows and brown trout.
