Water Elevation: 3635.89 Water Temps: 80+ I have been fishing many early a.m. this past week. I have been catching Walleye still which is a nice treat so late in the season. Water tempseratures are 80+ by mid morning. Expect a mix bag of fish early hours trolling and drop shotting in 15-25′ of water on Lake Powell. Troll a deep shad diver at 20′ and a drop shot at submerged structures in same depth zone. Capt. Bill

Wayne’s Words Lake Powell Fishing Report 6-06-12
My weekly fishing trip was one day after a full moon and a big windstorm. I wasn’t expecting much but was pleased to find cooperative smallmouth and striped bass. Stripers were feeding on plankton near the surface at the edge of the brush line. They seemed to be slightly deeper than last week with most hits coming where bottom depth was 25-30 feet. Every time we trolled into shallower water, pesky smallmouth would whack our Lucky Craft Bevy Shad lures. In 2 hours of Read More +
Wayne’s Words May 29, 2012 – Slurps Start
Lake Powell Fish Report – May 29, 2012 Lake Elevation: 3636 Water Temperature 63-70 Striped bass fishing is now perking up. The spawn is over allowing adult stripers to focus on finding food instead of spawning. “Food” is quite small as shad, their primary forage item, are less than an inch long. These tiny shad live very near the surface so stripers skim the surface to effectively feed on their tiny prey. These surface feeding (slurps) events can be readily observed by anglers. Read More +

Photo: Ryan Mosley and Lowell Marthe, Dutch John UT, caught a mixed bag of species while fishing Lake Powell. Here they hold stripers and walleye but they also caught crappie and smallmouth in abundance. It has been that kind of year at the lake and fishing continues to be excellent for all species. In addition, striper fishing has just improved dramatically this past week.

Lake Powell May 13, 2012
Lake Powell has produced some of the best Walleye Fishing this year I have ever seen. All my guests have been catching and the size are 3+ lbs. Water temps have reach 72 degrees which is now beginning to show Stripers on the top “slurping”. This is what we have been waiting for. Judy was as the Shad Rally and one of the “participants” caught 101 stripers on his boat. Lots of smallmouth are still being caught. Stripers are gaining size and weight and Read More +

Lake Powell Elevation: 3635.94 Smallmouth action is at it’s best and stripers are on hold as for as the “anchovie” bite goes. Top water action is only a month out and it shows to be excellent. Stumbled across a few Walleye this week as well which is always excellent. Capt. Bill
Lake Powell Fishing Report for May 1st, 2012
Photo Caption: Ray Young, retired fishing guide from Page AZ, caught a 15.4 pound striped bass in Navajo Canyon using a whole anchovy on a slow trolling rig about 2 hours after dark. Stripers are nearing the spawn which makes them active at night and dormant during the day. Trophy fish are more likely to be caught at night during May.
