Lake Powell Fishing Report 2-24-11
Lake Powell Elevation: 3615.74 Due to the cycling of shad this year, Stripers will be hungry. Spring Bait Fishing for stripers will be fantastic. Artificials for walleye, bass an smallmouth will be great as well. Use your pre- fish patterns as they will work extremely well this year. Run off from Winter is predicted to raise another 30-50′. Should be a fantastic season Captain Bill

This past week with my guests was the best Lake Powell has to offer. My guests for 3 days fished a total of 12 hours and caught 95 fish. They caught the 16lb that is featured on Waynes Words and their average catch was between 2-7 lbs. For all you bait fishermen from now till it cools down is the time to get to Lake Powell and get your catch for the Winter Dinners. I sent home a huge cooler of fish for my guests. Read More +
