Lake Powell Fishing Report February 15, 2020
High points – Low points to Pre-Spring Fishing on Powell It’s all about the water temps, the moon phase, your approach and then the secret “luck of the draw”. For us locals and guides that finally get to fish “without customers” is the warming of a few consecutive nights and days by as little as a few degrees. It doesn’t matter if your bait drop shotting, anchovies at a 100′, trolling, jigging or even fly fishing the shallows where stripers will run in Read More +

Water Temps: 82-83 Troling early morning hours is producing nice strippers from sun up to early noon. Some bait spots still producing but with more shad.

Lake Powell Fish Report – September 21, 2016 Lake Elevation: 3611.26 Water Temperature: 73 – 75 F I made it back on the water this week after successful knee surgery. My doctor suggested using the knee as much as the pain would allow. I thought I should do more to hasten healing, so I incorporated my own plan for “fish-ical” therapy. I can highly recommend my techniques for improving knee strength and movement which include: trolling while sitting down with the knee elevated. (I Read More +

Lake Powell Elevation 3617.43 Lake Powell water is 84 degrees in the shad which means you to be patient and persistent over deep water anchovie fishing 50-100′ and then it is a soft pressure bite mainly.

Smallmouth in the the hot weather are around the 25-40 feet depth and you want the bait scratching the Read More +
