Lake Powell Bass
 

Anyone locally fished Powell around Bullfrog that can pass me a few tips? Plnning trip for 2018 in September. Thanks. Strippers, Largemouth, and Smallies.

Strippers? I'm in!!!

Jokes/boobs aside....

It's a deep clean lake. Bullfrog has a lot of structure to fish. Think natural color, light line presentations in open water. Dropshot, spider jigs, and weightless stickbaits (yamamoto senkos) always worked well for me.

On deep water like that, A-Rigs also do really well. Just remember AZ is a two-hook-max state (Bullfrog is in Utah, but I dont remember what their hook/lure regs are. I always just stuck to AZ friendly regs just in case.)

September can be an awesome time to bass fish. Post spawn, pre-winter they should be feeding heavy. Pay attention to the first few fish you catch....if they have teeth, stick to shad/baitfish patterns. If they are toothless, throw crawfish imitations and hold on...

Thank you, how about taking a fly rod, any suggestiona there? Tight Lines amigos.

I've never been a fly guy, so I can't speak much to that...

Thanks, any of you FLY guys ever fish Powell? any tips? Thanks and Tight Lines amigos.

The dock area is loaded with monster bass (no fishing). I always manage to cast a line out in the late evening or when leaving I cast out - big, big, fish!

If you are on the open water with a graph, find the schools of stripers and drop anchovies and shiny artificial baits like spoons, kastmasters, and krocodiles. Fish it just like you would open water in the ocean.

If you want to go out at night, get a light rig and chum them up...

Info on FLY fishing please guys, thanks.
