Lake Powell Fishing Report September 30, 2019
Lake Powell Fishing Report 9-30-19 “It’s on the fringe” but for the fish that are stuffed to the gills they are pretty fussy. We are watching 1 day on boils only if they get hungry. If after boiling activity, trolling activity will produce more fat fish and I mean “fat”. Smallmouth are mixed in with the boils and are the 1-3 lb. fish. A 2lb. smallmouth will pull a 2lb. striper backwards and they are fighters as well. September Fishing is rated 50/50 depending on Read More +

Fish are biting extremely well and all “species” and all methods of fishing including fly fishing. Water temps are ideal with low-mid 60’s. If you are planning a trip, book soon even into Fall as we are booking out fast this year with our regular fishing trips and our Lake Powell Experience trip (half fishing – half sight seeing). For those who want the best of both worlds. Castle Rock cut is still not open but with the warmer temps we should start to Read More +
Lake Powell Fishing Report – Capt. Bill 9-6-16
Marie from Conneticut 9-3-16 Water Temps: 75-78 Lake Powell Elevation:3613.45 Striper boils on south end are like playing poker “luck of the draw”. It is best to leave very early and beeline it to the mouth of the San Juan and give it your best. I am catching some nice smallmouth mornings tube fishing and starting to fly fish and spin over stripers and chumming for them. I am guessing another 3-4 weeks for boiling action to improve but still a wait and 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. Lake Powell is at a good level for shad to take refuge in the bush and the back of canyons. I anticipate a good Fall and Winter for catching stripers. Smallmouth in the the hot weather are around the 25-40 feet depth and you want the bait scratching the Read More +

Lake Powell Fish Report – July 19, 2016 Lake Elevation: 3620 Water Temperature: 77 – 83F Stripers have moved out of the main channel and toward the backs of canyons. The move indicates that the shad food source has been well used in open water of the channel and bays. Slurping stripers have been relentless in pursuit of small newly-hatched shad. Those shad that have survived are seeking a sanctuary in the brush that now lines the shoreline. Shad have a better chance of avoiding predation if Read More +

October 29, 2014 Lake Elevation: 3605 Water Temperature 65-69 F By: Wayne GustavesonStriped bass annual migration is now almost complete. Fish movement begins in the spring as stripers react to warming water by leaving the backs of the canyons and heading toward the main channel to spawn. Then in summer they pursue forage in open water wherever they can find it whether on the surface or at great depths. As temperature declines in fall stripers move toward the backs of canyons where they will spend Read More +

Photo caption: Brian Myers found bass fishing good for his angling group in Good Hope Bay. Here is a light colored largemouth bass which looks much like a smallmouth bass. These fish species are currently hard to tell apart when they come from murky water. Bass fishing is good now while stripers are being more selective. This is a picture also of the “graph” to illustrate striper feeding. Lake Powell Fishing Report October 17, 2014 Lake Elevation: 3606 Water Temperature 70-74 F By: Wayne Read More +

Photo: Briann Reeves, caught a 9-pound striped bass fishing with bait in the main channel near Buoy 3. Bait fishing is still working lake wide for striped bass while walleye and bass fishing success is steadily improving each day. Lake Elevation: 3583 Water Temperature 62-65 F Lake Powell is rising. The lake looks refreshed as water is now covering vegetation that has grown along the shoreline. The rejuvenation is needed as low water over the past two years has changed how fish do Read More +

Hall of fame baseball player Fred Lynn had a 3-day Lake Powell trip with major league fishing for largemouth (pictured), smallmouth bass, stripers and walleye. All fish were caught casting with hard baits and soft plastics between Good Hope Bay and Iceberg Canyon.
