Lake Powell Fishing Report 3-28-15 by Capt. Bill McBurney
Lake Powell Elevation: 3591.04 Water temps will be staying in the 60’s this coming week and by mid April smallmouth and largemouth will be on the nest. Stripers are wanting to move but the report out of Utah officials has them staying in the backs of Canyons all year at Lake Powell. I believe some will but the triggering effect to spawn which means out in the Colorado Channel and better bait fishing by May hopefully. Get your booking in for some great fishing coming Read More +
Lake Powell Fishing Report March 24, 2015 by Wayne Gustaveson
Photo caption: While fishing for stripers in Warm Creek my lure ticked the bottom momentarily. It was long enough for a small quagga mussel to snap shut on the hook. This is my first shell-hooked catch of a live mussel. If a mussel can bite a rattletrap there is no reason that it could not catch an anchor rope,ski rope or any other object under the water. Make sure to clean, drain and dry your boat when leaving Lake Powell. Lake Powell Fish Read More +

Lake Powell Fishing Report Spring Forecast by Capt. Bill
Dear Anglers, Positive feed back from our fishing biologist which is very promising with the abundance of bait fish this Winter.

The fish are fat and strong with 1 1/2 inch fillets for the table. The rest of the day would be looking for small mouth unless where presented with another boil of course the hopefully Read More +
