Anglers from Granby and Grand Lake are reporting whopper lake trout being taken from shallower waters now set free from winter’s hold.

“Springtime is traditionally a really good time of year for fishing,” said Hot Sulphur Springs Colorado Division of Wildlife Aquatic Biologist Jon Ewert. “It’s one of the only times of year anglers can catch really large lake trout in shallow water near the shore.”

Fish remain mostly dormant during the winter for survival, then come springtime when the ice melts away and surface waters become warmer, their feeding intensifies.

Because the ice came off of Lake Granby later than normal this year, Ewert predicts good fishing conditions should keep up until at least early June.
