Some areas that had enjoyed a good morning bite now had better fishing in the evening. Fishing is still good but it Read More +

Lake Powell Fishing Report 8-28-12
My Catch – 7 of the 15 and nothing under 5 lbs. The Juvenile stripers on top at Lake Powell. Early morning and evenings . The 5+ pounders are below 20-40′ and the bigger ones yet somewhere in the mix of the bigger fish.

There has to be food for these elements to work where the anglers and fish become one. For the latest video Read More +

Plus the opportunity for sume lunker encounters Lake Wide. Best Canyon for fishing I recommend Last Chance and Navajo. My last trip this past week with 5 Read More +

A good set anchor will keep you from having issues during any wind with the storms. The Sorros Family June 27, 2012 Visiting Read More +
