Lake Powell

Has anyone recently done any fishing at Lake Powell? How was it?
Where did you go? Just curious. I did some fishing up in the San
Juan arm over the summmer. It wasn't too good.

First off... No. Haven't been to Powell in years. However, The San Juan
used to have a rep for crappie fishing. I never caught a lot of black bass
on Powell, but we sure saw a lot of good size large mouth. With my newer
knowledge of bassin since then I think I would throw topwater from way back
ealry and then work deep diving very natural crank baits and drop shots
later in the day. Other than during spawn and prespawn I think I would go
with that patern most of the year there.

As to feeding frenzy activity, if you want black bass I would probably avoid
it. There are so many striper in that lake that is all you are likely to
catch chasing boils.

I might try bluegill and sunfish pattern baits. There are good size
bluegill everywhere in that lake.

If you want to catch striper chase boild early and late. Fish 20-80 feet on
shear cliff faces that are very deep (100+) during the day. These tend to
be larger than the schoolies you catch chasing boils.

As far as I have heard the low water has not made huge differences in the
patterns, just relocated the fish to places that are still under water.
