Fishing is excellent right especially Fly Fishing. We are catching a lot of stripers with chartreuse clausers and Bill’s Secret “Fly”….stripers are an ample size.

Lake Powell Fish Report – September 27, 2012 Lake Elevation: 3621 Water Temperature 73-77 F By: Wayne Gustaveson http://www.wayneswords.com Surface water temperature is now in a slow downward spiral. Nights are enjoyably cool with warm temperatures during the day. A weather front and temperature drop disrupted fishing success for a couple of days this week but it was mostly a readjustment in timing. Some areas that had enjoyed a good morning bite now had better fishing in the evening. Fishing is still good but it Read More +

Every time we trolled into shallower water, pesky smallmouth would whack our Lucky Craft Bevy Shad lures. In 2 hours of Read More +
