Hey guys, I'm looking to try and catch one of the big lakers at Granby this coming Saturday. Only problem is I've never fished Lake Granby in my life, and its kind of an intimidating lake to just drive the 3 hours and blindly drill holes. I'm not looking for specifics but if anyone would be willing to give me a hint at a general area to try it would be greatly appreciated. PM me with any information you're willing to share, and thank you in advance!

Tight lines and be safe out there.

This weekend is the big tournament, so you will have lots of company out there, make friends and ask questions

Oh that is good to know that there's a tourny going on up there! I'm caught some. Nice lakers out of Blue Mesa years back when I lived on the western slope, but now that I'm in the metro area I have a hard time getting all the way over there very often, so I'm hoping Granby will be able to satify my itch for the big Macs, and no worries I alway practice CPR with the big girls. I like the smaller ones for eating anyway.

granby still has some toads.

 

[TthePikester]

Do the big girls actually need it when you practice CPR on them? :biggrin1:

Call Bernie Keefe, you can`t find a better guide. What you learn in one day with him will turn you into an expert.......no lie.

It takes a lot more than one day out with an expert to become an expert. No doubt going out with a guide would help a guy off to the right start and shorten the learning curve , but IMO, everybody has different things, and ways that work best for them, it takes awhile to get it all dialed in. That's one of the fun things about the sport. Its awesome when you can hit your groove, get into your zone and have success.

^^^ yep. I got Clear Creek dialed in last Spring and early summer and it was awesome having 15-30 fish days every trip. not as cool as big Lakers, but 10-14 inch Brownies on ultralight gear in a stream is still a blast.

What are the conditions of the lake as far as slush this year?

About a week ago it was bad, pretty much all froze up so good conditions now.
