Bill’s Corner 2-13-12- Teasing the Fish on Lake Powell


On Lake Powell (as I learned in Florida) we like to tease our fish!  Recipe?  Bait & Switch  – for fly casters and short throwers:

Take one zara spook (large) and remove the hooks, drill a small hole in the mouth and fill with enough water to let the plug still barely float.  Load the lure on a medium spin rod with 4-6 lb fluro line and you can cast this rocket 300+ feet to schools out from the boat.  Stripers will hold and chase your retrieve all the way back to your boat for the other anglers to make a presentation.  More fun than should be allowed.
