  • Lake Granby Fishery Management Report Jon Ewert, Aquatic Biologist, Colorado Parks and Wildlife February 2019
    Lake Granby Fishery Management Report Jon Ewert, Aquatic Biologist, Colorado Parks and Wildlife February 2019 Introduction Lake Granby, approximately 7,250 surface acres when full, is one of the largest coldwater reservoirs in the state. It is the main storage reservoir in the west slope portion of the Colorado-Big Thompson Project which supplies water to the northern Front Range through the Adams Tunnel at Grand Lake. It is a focal point of the Grand County tour- ism economy and offers many amenities. Recreational access is managed by the U.S. Forest Service as part of the Arapaho National Recreation Area. The recreational fishery of Granby is dominated by lake trout (aka mackinaw) and hosts the highest density of the species that has been documented in Colorado. Kokan- ee salmon have been stocked in Granby since 1951 to pro- vide recreational opportunity, a prey base to produce tro- phy lake trout, and spawning adults are captured annually to provide eggs for restocking. Rainbow trout of various sizes are also stocked and there is a moderate density of self-sustaining brown trout. Suckers and mottled sculpin Figure 1. Lake Granby are also present. Lake Granby also contains a dense population of mysis separate from the aggregate bag limit of other species. shrimp, which are an excellent prey source for smaller Due to reasons described above, the lake trout fishery in (<24”) lake trout.

Copies of the report are being furnished to all regional offices. By this memorandum regional offices are asked to review the report and make suggestions for changes and additions. The information may be helpful in starting projects which will be required in the near future to meet states' water quality standards. Problem areas in one region may serve as reminders for future problem areas in other regions. The Reaeration Research Program Management Team is available to assist Bureau offices in solving problems caused by oxygen deficiency in reser- voirs, lakes, streams,-canals, and aquifers.

ABSTRACT Most of the dams built by the Bureau of Reclamation were completed before environmental regulations such as the Clean Water Act, National Environmental Protection Act, or Toxic Substances Control Act existed. The management and operation of dams was instituted under conditions where the ecology of the downstream habitat was unknown and largely ignored. Changing or modifying structures, flow regimes, and land use patterns are some of the efforts being pursued by the Bureau to reconcile or mitigate the effects of impoundment to comply with these environmental policies and to maximize the potential for recreation, fisheries, and water quality in tailwater habitats for the water resource users. The purpose of this report is to provide a reference document intended to aid in the management, compliance, and problem solving processes necessary to accomplish these goals in Bureau tailwater habitats.
