  Lake Powell Fish Report – May 8, 2013 Lake Elevation: 3596 Water Temperature 59-65 F By: Wayne Gustaveson One week after the spring fishing peak and fishing is still good.

  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.  It will remain that way indefinitely this summer.  My customers are having 15-20 fish catches on half day and 30-40- fish on a full day charter individually.  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 +

Lake Powell Fishing Report 4-14-13

  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 +
