Grant Lake Fishing Overview

Grant Lake is part of the June Lake Loop and the largest of the four lakes in the area. It's regularly stocked with rainbow trout, but the lake is best known for producing trophy-sized brown trout. Trollers tend to have the most success at Grant Lake, though shore casters have also been known to catch rainbow limits, especially after a recent stock. A boat launch is located on the south end, with primitive campsites scattered around the lake.

Hot Brown Trout bite

Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout

Clear

Grant Lake has been hot for browns since the season opener, even with the weather being mostly cold and stormy over the last week. Bank guys are getting some action soaking floated night crawlers or powerbait for smaller rainbows... but hot bite the right now is on Rapalas. 3-4 inch Rapalas in a variety of colors (orange and yellow are notably producing well) are hooking a good number of 2-3 pound brown trout and the occasional rainbow. 10-20 fish days haven't been uncommon (releasing the browns obviously). The bite should remain very good as the weather improves and water temps slowly increase this month.

Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout

Big browns have been making their appearance at Grant Lake recently. Trollers using spoons or Rapalas late in the day have the best chance of landing one, though it's not easy. Another rainbow trout stocking is projected for this week.
