Open biodiversity records for Grand County list black-spotted cutthroat trout, brook trout, rainbow trout and brown trout. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Take this water a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 59°F and January near 15°F. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around late April. From about late April to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. This water runs to that rhythm year in and year out.
