My favorite flies for trout are the Royal Coachman, Renegade, and the wooly bugger. A few flies I would never leave home without, and the first ones to get tied on.

Saw some pictures of some very nice fish that came out of there. It is a beautiful place and some nice fish.

NICE! How long?

Yes indeed, he is in there

Good one

You would love it. The problem with Lake Powell is there is so much of it, would probably take a lifetime to see it all. It is 180 miles from the dam to the upper part of the reservoir, and then side canyons going everywhere. Striper fishing in the fall is almost unbelievable. It is not hard to catch a 100 fish a day. The average striper is 3-4 lbs. and I like to catch them on my ultra light. They will strip a little line. :) One of the pro tournaments they had there, was out of Page, which is by the dam, and one angler was running up to Hite to fish, which is 150 miles on the lake. I guess that's why they put those 200 pony motors on their boat.

Striped bass galore in here, and add in Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, Crappie, and Walleye and you have the most popular spot in Utah, but with 1800 miles of shoreline, you can find a place all to your self

Everyone should go to Lake Powell fishing once in their life. Even if the fish aren't biting, the scenery will keep you in awe

My bucket list keeps growing each post I read

British Columbia for salmon was my best fishing trip. Float plane ride into an area with no roads, lodge that was built floating on the water, and the fishing was fantastic. Everyone limited on salmon each day, and one of our guys caught a 212# Halibut, but he was the only one that caught Halibut, but the salmon were strong and put up a heck of fight. Found out what a knucklebuster reel is up there. :)

Another joke to tell my wife LOL

Wildlife resources are trying to get rid of the burbot, so the reason for the Burbot bash. Maybe Michigan should have a Lamprey bash, however I am not sure how much we effect the population by these things. Fish Lake has a perch tournament to try to get rid of perch, and in the spring if you troll past the east side of the lake, there are literally millions of eggs over there. But Wildlife resources insists that it helps.

That fish might eat the fisherman. WOW

Tie an overhand knot to your drop shot sinker, and if it gets snagged, usually the line will break at the knot saving your hook and bait. But those drop shot sinkers aren't exactly that cheap.

There is actually a guide up there that guarantees a trophy fish, and he has had to take a few out more than once, but have heard not too many
