Lake Powell Fishing Report January 29, 2018
Dear Anglers, Happy 2018 and hope you all had a wonderful Holiday Season and a great 2017. We have have good winter fly-fishing season with the stripers. Unless it gets severely colder, I can usually count on a window for stripers to fee in the shallows. For Spring we have a wait and see to observe as to what is in store because of the lack of snow “so far” in the Rockies this year. A low run off will be a fair bait bite as Read More +

Lake Powell Fishing report for this week and probably next week. Bait fishing will be down about 45-50′. Top water still good at the upper end of Lake Powell.

My last 3 trips have been excellent. Here is photo (a bit fuzzy with glare from water) of Justin fly fishing Wednesday. We did very well. Look Read More +
