Fished yesterday at #lakepowell here is a short report:
Responding to anchovies the Dam but better quality of fish in the backs of Canyons and they respond better to trollers and casters.
Quality fish will sniff/nibble anchovies but tend to move away but I suspect will get better by late April with warmer water. You will have to hunt harder for bigger and fatter fish this year due to the lowers water and stressed bait reproduction. They can be found just takes patience and persistence.
Some canyons and main channel fish will fair better this year. Cat fishing this year is great and producing as some are already on the feed!
Tight lines,
