Crappie
Crappie fishing near Granby, Colorado, provides a great change of pace from the area's more well-known trout and salmon fisheries. While not abundant, crappie can be found in some of the smaller, warmer reservoirs and ponds in the vicinity. Focus your efforts on areas with submerged timber, brush piles, or weed beds. Spring is the peak season for crappie, as they move into shallow water to spawn, but they can also be caught in the summer months by targeting deeper structure. Small jigs, minnows, and crappie nibbles are all effective baits. Try suspending your bait under a bobber to keep it at the desired depth. A local tip is to use a fish finder to locate schools of crappie before casting. Be aware that the crappie population in this area is not as robust as in some other locations, so it may take some searching to find them. However, when you do, you can often catch several in a short period of time.
