Striper’s not taking the Fly? Think about a different pattern. Try to change the size first or more times than not that’s all you need. If that doesn’t work, then change the patterns. Capt. Bill

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 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.
