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 Read More +

[singlepic id=75]Fishing Lake Powell Mad Fish Fly or Spin. What fish you are catching get really really mad? Answer? Bass especially smallmouth during the spawn. It is the best time around April and May when waters hits the magic degree of 60. Present a chartreuse clauser or grub at broken rock structure or submerged tree or bush line and catch a “mad fish” which will help you to be a “happy angler”. Capt. Bill

Striper Movement, In the Spring when the water stars to warm enough for the bait fish to migrate to open water on this lake " Lake Powell" is when the winter flows are producing a current which triggers spawning. Females suspend their eggs usually in the channels due to a slight current running through the entire lake system and especially close to the outflow of spillways dam side. The males will stage off of points and rock cropping and mark the eggs when scented Read More +

Striper Boils "In the West" Best Success! Other than the usual networking of good guides and a reliable "tackle store", you have to be looking at your surroundings as soon as you see water and that is "at the ramp". Most anglers are just as jazzed at heading up Lake especially if they own a fast fishing machine. Then they start fishing…."oops". Here on Lake Powell, Herons, Ravens, Gulls and Coyotes are the main players when hitting striper boils that a lot of time have a lot of bass Read More +
Fishing Report 9-25-11 – Lake Powell
Lake Powell Elevation: 3653.61 Water Temp: 74 high water this year has put the normal feeding off on the Fall top water action and Pre Baiting has been somewhat a good bet if you have the fish holding steady for awhile due to bait fish activity.

Bill’s Corner – Fussy Fall Stripers on Lake Powell
Fresh water Stripers not hitting?? Try pre -chumming in your favorite with anchovies or other dead baits if allowed by your regulations. I save my old cotton socks because they are biodegradeable after they break down after decaying in the water for a month or so. Just fill them up with your favoriet baits and toss them in when your returning from your days fishing and then return some time the next day or even a few days later for that matter. I will secure Read More +
Lake Powell Stripers on Lower End of Lake
Dear Bill, Why are the stripers non existent on the lower half of Lake Powell this time of year but the upper half is producing fish? Angler Jason Dear Jason, Is isn’t that there are not stripers on the lower end as it has more do with the oxygen and nutrient and bait fish. When the Colorado River, Green River and San Juan and many tributaries open up their flood gates to the Spring run off it creates massive inflow current for a couple of Read More +
Lake Powell Fishing Report 8-17-11
Lake Elevation: 3658 Water Temperature 78-83 F Fishing on the southern end of the lake will not improve until temperatures get cooler in the evenings to cool the water down. Anglers are backed up as well as guides waiting for September and October for this event and hopefully wont experience a prolonged heat spell like the one that hit us in 1993. Our best advice is to stay tuned to the fishing reports that we put out as we are one of the few Read More +
