Lake Powell Spring Fishing April 2020
Dear Anglers, We are close to spawn time on the big pond which has the fishing moving toward their nesting and free spawn positions. Smallies are not real aggressive in the zone yet so fish in that 15029 ft. window. Look for optimum water temps of 60+ in the coming days. Stripers are all over the place but not holding position as they still have bait fish to hunt. It should be fair this year for the bait fisherman and there is some fish moving 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 +

Lake Powell Fishing Report by Wayne Gustavson 4-24-13
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 +
