New information for you. ———- Forwarded message ———- From: “Brindle, Todd” <todd_brindle@nps.gov> Date: Apr 24, 2014 7:21 AM Subject: Quagga mussel update To: “NPS GLCA All Employees” <glca_all_employees@nps.gov> Cc: Now that quagga mussels have been detected in Lake Powell, we are developing an Extended Response Strategy that will shift our focus from keeping mussels out (prevention) to trying to keep mussels from leaving the lake (containment) and infesting other bodies of water.

April Catching! Just some of our Anglers Water level has begun to hold with n0 drop down so the new Channel (The Cut) should be open by May 30, 2014 or sooner. The Striper bait bite is on and will remain steady for the season. Fish points and deep water ledges is the key with lots of chumming.

Lake Elevation: 3574 Water Temperature 54-62 F Lake Powell water level increased a fraction of an inch this week. It wasn’t much but it is a step in the right direction.

Try to avoid a cold front with wind if possible. Warming water may even overpower the full moon effect which will Read More +

Lake Powell Fishing Report Lake Elevation: 3574 Water Temperature 52-60 F Lake level remains fairly constant with a slight drop to 3574 MSL. We hope spring runoff holds off for another 3 weeks as the Castle Rock Cut deepening project will continue until the last week of April. The best news is that the Cut will be deepened down to 3575 MSL meaning that the lake only has to come up 5 feet or so from the present level to allow boats to take the Read More +
