In a month or two it’s early season for Bass & Stripers – Color is important and I have learned to go with a reddish or deep orange on cranks and grubs.

Spring Run off at Lake Powell 2019
The Colorado, Wyoming and Utah snow pack will make Lake Powell boating & fishing trip longer until the run off is complete around the 2nd or 3rd week of June. Castle Rock Cut will be closed until then with no water. Until runoff is completed, access to certain area are limited and your guide will discuss what options he recommends for your fishing charter. Be prepared to venture through the main channel to get to key areas until then. Capt. Bill
