Lake Powell Fishing Report March 24, 2015 by Wayne Gustaveson
Photo caption: While fishing for stripers in Warm Creek my lure ticked the bottom momentarily. It was long enough for a small quagga mussel to snap shut on the hook. This is my first shell-hooked catch of a live mussel. If a mussel can bite a rattletrap there is no reason that it could not catch an anchor rope,ski rope or any other object under the water. Make sure to clean, drain and dry your boat when leaving Lake Powell. Lake Powell Fish Read More +

Either fly The lake has very little traffic and you can explore “hunt” the backs of all the coves and canyons. The chance for a “whopper” has increased. The catch can be “nil” at times but for me it’s the hunt and the quiet and a lot more wildlife and sight seeing too. Fly fishing, trolling and structure casting are the few of many approaches with bait fishing starting usually in the spring. Take advantage of our 10% off early booking for Spring today.

Dear Anglers, Positive feed back from our fishing biologist which is very promising with the abundance of bait fish this Winter.

Winter Fishing Lake Powell with Capt. Bill 11-23-14
SUMMER 2014 Winter 2014 Fly Rod Fishing Lake Powell Winter fly fishing can be rewarding on Powell but it takes work and perseverance with the patience of finicky trout in shallow water. There is no chumming in the winter and the different water levels of each season make for an interesting hunt to land a striper on a fly. I look forward to the challenge every year for myself as winter provides few clients but the few who do give it a go have a Read More +

October 29, 2014 Lake Elevation: 3605 Water Temperature 65-69 F By: Wayne GustavesonStriped bass annual migration is now almost complete. Fish movement begins in the spring as stripers react to warming water by leaving the backs of the canyons and heading toward the main channel to spawn. Then in summer they pursue forage in open water wherever they can find it whether on the surface or at great depths. As temperature declines in fall stripers move toward the backs of canyons where they will spend Read More +

Photo caption: Brian Myers found bass fishing good for his angling group in Good Hope Bay. Here is a light colored largemouth bass which looks much like a smallmouth bass. These fish species are currently hard to tell apart when they come from murky water. Bass fishing is good now while stripers are being more selective. This is a picture also of the “graph” to illustrate striper feeding. Lake Powell Fishing Report October 17, 2014 Lake Elevation: 3606 Water Temperature 70-74 F By: Wayne Read More +
