Grant Lake Marina and Campground, no phone. Last day of operation is Oct. 6th. Harold at the marina tells me that trolling Tube Flies (available at Ernie’s) and Speedy Shiners amongst others 6 to 7 colors lead core has been the best bet. Ran into to Rich the chef at Carson Peak Inn (he cooks up a mean Prime Rib every day they’re open) who’s been on the water a lot lately doing well trolling Speedy Shiners, bait fishing Garlic Pinched Crawlers, and fly chucking a Hornburg with a midge dropper all mostly in the upper section above the Narrows.

Dan’s Guide Service (661-478-0036) reports that the evening bite has gone from trolling Rapalas with spin gear to dragging Rainbow Hornburgs with a fly rod loaded with full sink line. Like Rich this is in the upper section targeting the submerged Rush Creek channel. The boat ramp will be inaccessible with the closing of the marina but there are a few spots to launch from shore. Care must be taken though.
