LAKE POWELL FISHING REPORT – 3-21-12
Photo caption: Brian Hammond, Page, AZ, caught a brown trout in Padre Bay. The bigger surprise is that more brown trout and a rainbow have been recently caught.

Fishing Report 9-25-11 – Lake Powell
Lake Powell Elevation: 3653.61 Water Temp: 74 high water this year has put the normal feeding off on the Fall top water action and Pre Baiting has been somewhat a good bet if you have the fish holding steady for awhile due to bait fish activity.

Bill’s Corner – Fussy Fall Stripers on Lake Powell
