Lees Ferry Report
March 13 & 14, 2010
Returning clients Brett and his 11 year old son Eli brought Brett's dad Robin along to fly fish Lees Ferry for 2 days. Unfortunately, we experienced a strong winter storm in N. AZ over the weekend and the fish were a little fussy. Eli had the first fish to hand each day and the most landed for the 2 days. Robin took top honors for the big fish at 16". Most of the fish were caught up shallow in fast water in primary riffles over drop-offs. It was great to see Brett and Eli again.
Lake Powell Report
June 2010
June has seen many client trips and many fish brought into the boat. The crew of the forgotten canyon booked me again for 1st and we targeted bass and walleye. This was my 4th year with the gang and it was a blast as usual. Frank and Barbara brought their grandson for 2 half days. We fished Navajo Canyon and caught stripers and a couple catfish on anchovies. We also fished for smallmouth towards the back of the canyon with good success. The Baker family came out for a morning trip on Father's Day, the 20th. We started fishing for stripers with anchovies and quickly had action from the hard pulling fish. Dustin caught a nice striper while fishing for fishing a tube for smallmouth on the point we were fishing for stripers. Later, we fished around the mouth of Navajo Canyon and caught a load of smallmouth. The 27th found John and Craig out on the same striper spot and we had even better action then the week before. After the boat wakes in the main channel kicked us off the spot, we headed for the back of Warm Creek and we took a few a more smallmouth and a big crappie on a Yamamoto Hula Grub.

Lake Powell Report

The Munoz family contacted me about a trip where they could learn more about the crappie fishing on Lake Powell. Since I love crappie I was more than happy to oblige. We fished Navajo Canyon with reasonable success. We fished small jigs vertically under the boat and even sight fished for a few. The carp are every where this time of year and a nice one was caught on a jig and piece of ham. After lunch, we made the long run up to Last Chance Bay. We didn't find crappie in the spot I tried there but did manage to take a nice walleye on a Yamamoto Hula grub. The boys and dad were enthusiastic about fishing on Powell; great day.
Lees Ferry Report
March 27, 2010
A large group of 12 booked with Marble Canyon Outfitters who I work for on The Ferry and I took 3 anglers to fly fish the river. Fishing was tough overall for the group of 12, however I had very experienced angler on my boat and he went off on his own for the most part and did well. Schaffer landed a respectable number of fish including a fat 17 inch female from Power Line riffle. Most of the fish on the day took zebra midges or scuds. I spent most of my time with the 2 beginners, Cutter and Mark.They had a good time learning the details of casting and drifting.

The Petersons called me for a Good Friday trip on the lake. I was happy to take them out. It was post cold front conditions but we trolled up a good batch of stripers. We started in Warm Creek and found the fish around a submerged tapering ridge in depths from 10 to 25 feet. After finding the sweet spot, we hit a fish about every other pass over the structure. The fish were scattered but they were eating our Norman crankbaits nevertheless. After lunch we headed to Navajo Canyon and found the fish on a similar but smaller ridge. The nice thing about a smaller spot is that the fish are concentrated more. This spot produced fish nearly every pass with one double hookup. Luke and Jake the 2 boys, had a blast fighting stripers up to 4lbs 10 oz while their dad Billy and his wife watched with pride.

Took Clint and hiw wife Amy from Montana for a full day all the way up the lake to Rock Creek. We started in Dove Canyon with good catches of both smallmouth and largemouth on Yamamoto Hula Grubs, Senkos and tubes. At one point, we let the boat settle into the thick brush and looked for cruising fish and sight cast to them with success. The trick was to only fish the very backs of brushy pockets. Just before lunch, we made our way into Rock Creek. I had good reports of stripers and crappie in Rock and wanted to check it out first hand. We trolled for stripers for a while with no luck. There is tons of great looking brushy water all around in Dry and Main Rock creeks. We caught some bass and caught one 1 lb.+ crappie off an old cottonwood tree. Fun trip and good time with Clint and Amy. BTW, I can't find my memory card, so no pics until Amy sends me a couple.
