Lake Powell Fishing Report 2-24-11
Lake Powell Elevation: 3615.74 Due to the cycling of shad this year, Stripers will be hungry. Spring Bait Fishing for stripers will be fantastic. Artificials for walleye, bass an smallmouth will be great as well. Use your pre- fish patterns as they will work extremely well this year. Run off from Winter is predicted to raise another 30-50′. Should be a fantastic season Captain Bill
