Some recent photos of some great anglers and my guy yesterday “flyfishing”. Smallmouth and largemouth and sunrise and dusk both top water and Yamamoto dark brown and orange grubs on 1/4 oz.

There are bait schools everywhere and we are catching some early morning by trolling deep divers shad in purple backs and natural. Some mornings allot of fish hook ups and Read More +
Lake Powell Fishing Report January 11, 2020 by Capt. Bill
In a month or two it’s early season for Bass & Stripers – Color is important and I have learned to go with a reddish or deep orange on cranks and grubs. Mr. Crawdaddy like to be burry up in the winter in our red sand and clay and this is a color change of red and orange and light browns are best! Winter shad Bass & Stripers schools either still shallow or down to a 100′ deep. The shallow schools are in 3-25′ of Read More +
Lake Powell Fishing April 20, 2019
So ! Bait fishBait fishing is excellent right now and Florida style Fly Fishing for stripers “chumming them up from the deep” is also great right now. Low water now mean I have 1 hour each way to go to fish Navajo Canyon so fish cleaning is up to the customer on 1/2 day trips. Full day trip there is more time in the 8 hour window to prepare your catch. When bringing your boat, be sure to let your guide know Read More +

Lake Powell Fishing Report – 4-28-18 by Capt. Bill For the next 2 weeks, Stripers – use baite (anchovies) which has picked up somewhat at the dam but expect 50/50 fish quality.

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 +
