Photo Caption: Carl Lind, Wittmann AZ, caught this 3-pound striped bass in Last Chance Bay trolling a shad rap.

April Catching! Just some of our Anglers Water level has begun to hold with n0 drop down so the new Channel (The Cut) should be open by May 30, 2014 or sooner.

Bigger females are near by so Fly Rodding or Conventional opportunities exist with patience and lots of casting. Water is currently running 60 degrees with slight Read More +

The best news is that the Cut will be deepened down to 3575 MSL meaning that the lake only has to come up 5 feet or so from the present level to allow boats to take the Read More +
Lake Powell Fishing Report by Bill McBurney 4/4/14
Fished yesterday at #lakepowell here is a short report: Responding to anchovies the Dam but better quality of fish in the backs of Canyons and they respond better to trollers and casters.

You will have to hunt harder for bigger and fatter fish this year due to the lowers water and stressed bait reproduction. They can be found just takes patience and persistence. Read More +
