Fishing Report Southend 4/4 - 4/6

[Coho975]

You bet. The race is on between 60 degree water and GHB being blown out. Hopefully there is some middle ground for a week or so. It was -8 in Lyman, WY this morning. Really tough to judge the run-off this year. There's an incredible (and I think unaccounted for) amount of snow below 7000' in the upper Green right now, and its staying cold, calling for high 40's low 50's next week.

Great enough for me, I'm only good enough to ask. Much appreciated as all ways.

Your island is still there, but for how long?

That's the fun part, every elevation change up or down makes new ones...

If you look good, I don't think its actually an island now, I thought I seen where you could walk to the bank, unless you went up to your A-- in mud

Coho
I promise if you will pull up the Cha bay in the San Juan, I wont bother you again until next year, and I will give you all of these down rigger weights and clips. My son lives in Mountain view and I will give them to him to take home, and you can pick them up, when possible
At least a $100 view

You are correct! But it will be one again in a couple of weeks.. Then it will be structure.

If you are on a computer and not your phone, just left click and hold it down and you can move around, zoom is in the upper right corner, calendar to the left will show you the date of the image. It seems to be on a rotation where it will update every third day, then every second day.

Does anyone know if there are any houseboat campsites in Knowles at this water level? We'd like to fish in the stained water in GHB, or wherever the mudline is, but camp in clearer water. I've camped in Knowles before, but there was probably 100+ feet more water when I did that.

We were there last year when the water was around this level. There was a camp area that will fit a houseboat…I know this because there was one in it the whole time we were there…

Fishing is very slow, just a few bites, trolled Lone Rock and Wahweap no success, we were graphing fish around 20-30 feet but they were not interested in our lures or bait (we chumed bags of anchovies with no success). Tried the usual spring fishing areas (dam, buoy 3, Antelope Canyon etc..) no success. Did not go to Navajo or Warm Creek as we talk to a few anglers that came from the that area and had no success either. With the water temp at 48 degrees, a full moon and the recent storms, I am sure that those factors had a lot to do with the fish not wanting to cooperate. I have been coming to Powell every Spring for the last few decades and this is the first time I have been skunked. Sad, now, we are heading back to Reno without fish in the cooler. We will wait until May and try it again. But of course, we still had a great time being out and about with one of mans greatest creations, Lake Powell!!!

Thank you for the report! Head down tomorrow for a week of fishing with my 95 year ago pop!
Wish us some catching lol

Awesome Man, my best friend fished with me until he was 91, hope you catch a bunch.

My 2 brothers just put their boat in a slip in Wahweap. They are catching a few of the back of boat right in the slip.

Location is a key too. We stopped at the dam on our way to MM25 and didn’t get a nibble. Then proceeded to have some of the best fishing of my life for 3 straight days. See report.

The East wall at MM 25 has always produced fish. Steve & Gena ( Stickbow Shooter) turned us on to their spot there to harvest stripers for the South Rally in “11” or “13”, don’t quite remember. I had the honor of being guided that trip by TR. Sq

Right at the verticle slot on the northern end!

I believe that there must be a spring or something in that area that the fish like. They always seem to be there. Sq
