Lake Powell Fishing 4-25 through 27, 2013
If a picture says 1000 words….the following will definitely give you the “scoop” of what is happening at Lake Powell. Fishing remains at it’s tops in years both conventional and fly fishing.

Bass are on the beds and water temperatures are running 62 degrees. Customers have asked about Walleye, their occasional at best this year but can Read More +

Lake Elevation: 3597 Water Temperature 53-60 F It’s a typical year as bass move on nest sites as the water warms and then pull off as water cools. If the home cove is protected from wind it stays warm and bass spawn. If strong wind cools water then spawning is delayed until the next calm period. The big selling point for coming sooner rather than later to fish for spawning bass is lake level. The lake is stabilizing, ready to start filling. Sight fishing is Read More +

Fishing remains good this past weekend. Bigger stripers are on the feed and you can graph schools of bait fish close by when stripers are fat. 5-6 lb fish are the norm and fly fishing over chum is promising in the Main Channel on Lake Powell holding fish on points and shelves bordering deep water 300-400 ft. plus. Key to getting the bigger fish is to keep one line down below the feeding fish school for that possible “big strike for a 10lb plus”. Wind will be Read More +

Fishing is excellent right especially Fly Fishing. We are catching a lot of stripers with chartreuse clausers and Bill’s Secret “Fly”….stripers are an ample size. Fishing anchovies is working extremely good now. I typically fish away from other customers to get you on to bigger and fatter fish and away from the crowds. Come see us! Capt. Bill

Stripers on the Fly or on bait are in the Zone for Lake Powell Fishing right now. There are 1,000’s of fish at the dam and intake for the bait angler, but fish are marginal weight wise. For fatter fish try chumming in the 60′ range toward the backs of most Canyons. Last Chance and Rock Creek are Top Spots without pressure…Water will be holding at 60 degrees this coming week so striped bass on Lake Powell will be looking to nest around short Read More +
