Striped Bass
Targeting striped bass in Grand Lake, Colorado, presents a unique challenge, as it's not a typical habitat for this species. Striped bass are not native to Colorado and their presence in Grand Lake would be unusual. If they were present (likely due to unauthorized introduction), focus on areas where the Colorado River enters the lake, as this provides some current and potential forage. Early spring and late fall, when water temperatures are cooler, might be the best times to try. However, given the lake's primary population of trout and salmon, anglers should focus on these species. Before targeting striped bass, confirm their presence and any specific regulations with Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Be prepared for cold water conditions, even in summer, due to the lake's high altitude.
