New to Colorado fishing

[cpr17]

Greetings. I am a native Minnesotan who is just beginning to fish Colorado, though I have resided here the past twenty-odd years. I am renting a cabin in Grand Lake in about 10 days and am going to head up there this week to get the feel of the lake for a day or so. I'll rent a boat and hit the water, hopefully with a bit of local lore. Any suggestions for catching kokanee in my first "high country" experience? Thanks.

The folks at Budget can be helpful. Pick yourself up a couple RMT dodgers and try various spoons and spinners behind it. Coming from another N.Dak boy. Good Luck to ya.

If you are going up to Granby, a change in species might be the ticket. Granby is an incredible Lake trout fishery but I wouldn't target it as a kokonee hot spot over the last few years. Wolford is doing really well right now. that's about 35 minutes away, there's also Williams Fork which has kokonee, lakers, and being a minnesota boy (I grew up there) it's got plenty of big Northerns to chase.
