Lake Powell April Fishing Tip April 4, 2015
Dear Anglers, My tip for fly fishing (#flyfishing) stripers in back of canyons at Lake Powell. I like a fast 7-8 wt. rod wit a fast sink 15′ sink tip, 4′ leader and 15 lb. tippet and 3″ crawfish flies with chartreuse and white clauser flies. If the stripers are feeding, you want a fast retrieval and a tarpon set (scissor set) and watch that rod tip when your landing so not to high stick the rod tip. Tight lines, Capt. Bill
Lake Powell Fishing Report 3-28-15 by Capt. Bill McBurney
Lake Powell Elevation: 3591.04 Water temps will be staying in the 60’s this coming week and by mid April smallmouth and largemouth will be on the nest. Stripers are wanting to move but the report out of Utah officials has them staying in the backs of Canyons all year at Lake Powell. I believe some will but the triggering effect to spawn which means out in the Colorado Channel and better bait fishing by May hopefully. Get your booking in for some great fishing coming Read More +
Lake Powell Fishing Report March 24, 2015 by Wayne Gustaveson
Photo caption: While fishing for stripers in Warm Creek my lure ticked the bottom momentarily. It was long enough for a small quagga mussel to snap shut on the hook. This is my first shell-hooked catch of a live mussel. If a mussel can bite a rattletrap there is no reason that it could not catch an anchor rope,ski rope or any other object under the water. Make sure to clean, drain and dry your boat when leaving Lake Powell. Lake Powell Fish Read More +

Lake Powell Fishing Report – by Capt. Bill McBurney 1-19-15
Either fly The lake has very little traffic and you can explore “hunt” the backs of all the coves and canyons. The chance for a “whopper” has increased. The catch can be “nil” at times but for me it’s the hunt and the quiet and a lot more wildlife and sight seeing too. Fly fishing, trolling and structure casting are the few of many approaches with bait fishing starting usually in the spring. Take advantage of our 10% off early booking for Spring today.

Lake Powell Fishing Report Spring Forecast by Capt. Bill
Dear Anglers, Positive feed back from our fishing biologist which is very promising with the abundance of bait fish this Winter. Whatever style of angling, beginner, semi pro-fly fishermen, bait cast, spin or trolling Spring should provide great angling opportunities. Our newest boat a 26′ triton that cruises 25knots is rigged for that Spring Lake Powell trip of a lifetime. Current Winter angling is a 50/50 proposition but offers an experience like no other with little or zero boat traffico n the water (weather permitting Read More +

Winter Fishing Lake Powell with Capt. Bill 11-23-14
SUMMER 2014 Winter 2014 Fly Rod Fishing Lake Powell Winter fly fishing can be rewarding on Powell but it takes work and perseverance with the patience of finicky trout in shallow water. There is no chumming in the winter and the different water levels of each season make for an interesting hunt to land a striper on a fly. I look forward to the challenge every year for myself as winter provides few clients but the few who do give it a go have a Read More +

October 29, 2014 Lake Elevation: 3605 Water Temperature 65-69 F By: Wayne GustavesonStriped bass annual migration is now almost complete. Fish movement begins in the spring as stripers react to warming water by leaving the backs of the canyons and heading toward the main channel to spawn. Then in summer they pursue forage in open water wherever they can find it whether on the surface or at great depths. As temperature declines in fall stripers move toward the backs of canyons where they will spend Read More +
