Brook Trout fishing at Grand Lake
Spring brook trout on Grand Lake hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. The spot to know is Creek inflow, a inflow / creek mouth in about 5 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.

| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

White Perch fishing at Grand Lake
Start shallow in spring: white perch sit in 4 to 15 ft that time of year. They move out to 15 to 40 ft in summer and finish the year down in 20 to 50 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Creek inflow: a inflow / creek mouth around 5 ft that scores prime in spring. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A small spinner rig drifted or a 1/8 oz jigging spoon covers the summer program.
