Lake Powell Fishing Report April 4, 2015 – Capt. Bill McBurney
Tiffany , WY 4-3-15 One of our #hookedonsmiles Stripers are spotty with Spring weather as water temps fluctuate5-7 degrees depending on winds and cooler nights and days.

Schools that bunch up are more aggressive but they will break apart sometime around a slight dip in water temperatures only to regrow again later. Fly Fishing for Winter Schoolies with a 5-6 wt. rod will thrill you and by April the bigger fish and rods come into play. Conventional: Trolling a Read More +
