Reports
It was really low. Perfect conditions. One right after another.
Sterling Tobiasson, St, George UT, and family enjoyed some fast stripers fishing near Glen Canyon Dam. Striped bass have moved into the main channel where they can be caught in large quantities on anchovies for the next two months. It is a good time to take a kid fishing at Lake Powell.

[fv]im going to the ocean for the first time for shark. hope i have a lot of luck, will keep up on report[/fv]
Went to the Aqui Fria arm of Pleasant Sunday and accidentally caught some big White Bass. I have probably caught more largemouth at Bartlett anyone given day this year that all four times I went to pleasant.
Well the white bass were bitting a little. My buddy picked up a few trolling rattle traps. I was fishing in the Castle Creek arm overnight and till about 11 pm...nothing. I tried buzz baits, top water poppers, split shots with senkos, rattle traps, trolling crank baits, spinners, and swim baits. I even dropped a few anchovies down...nothing! Castle Creek is almost non existent. The water level is no where near the bridge. I've had minimal luck on the Castle Creek arm this whole year for largemouth, strippers and white bass are another story thought. What really drives you crazy is that you can see them right under you with the fish finder and they just don't want what your offering.
It’s rainbow time at Green Valley Lake
They’re coming back to Payson – it’s rainbow time at Green Valley Lake.
Payson residents and visitors to this marvelous mountain community can welcome back the trout to beautiful Green Valley Park on Friday, Oct. 22.
It’s a cause for a fishing-pole-in-hand celebration.
There are more than 1,000 Colorado-grown rainbow trout heading to Green Valley Lake on Friday to kick off the trout stocking season that features 11-14 inch fish delivered every two weeks.
This year, there’s a rainbow bonus: an extra 50 percent more trout have been ordered.
“Fall is a wonderful time to visit the rim country, see the colors, and relax and fish along the grassy shorelines of this popular urban fishery just a mile west of Highway 87 on Main Street,” said Urban Fishing Program Manager Eric Swanson.
Swanson explained that the fish stocking program at Green Valley is different from all other Urban Fishing Program waters. Rainbow trout are the only species stocked by the Game and Fish Department during an eight month season that starts in mid October and continues through early May.
“No other fish species are stocked at Green Valley, however good populations of bass, crappie and sunfish can be found in this productive lake ecosystem,” Swanson pointed out.
Trout can be caught on small spinners and spoons, by fly fishermen using nymphs or wet flies, and by baits such as scented dough baits, worms or salmon eggs.
Remember to use lighter line in the 2- to 6-pound range, smaller hooks and a minimal amount of weight. Limits on trout are 4 per day for licensed anglers and two trout for children under age 14.

Tempe Town Lake Flooding. Broken Dam.
I guess Tempe Town Lake's Dam broke last night. The news says one of the inflatable structures that make up the dam burst and sounded like a explosion. They say there is 4 main inflatable structures that make up the dam. People instantly noticed that dam broke after the noise and alerted police that cruised around the reservoir in a helicopter to look for boats that might be on the lake still and for people that might be below the dam in the Salt. My buddy Don K. went out there this morning at 8 AM and said he could see big catfish swimming around in the mud. That Lake is an average of 16 feet and is now down to 3. I don't know if there letting people down to the water to play with the fish, but that is what I would do. I want to see whats down there! Maybe some bodies or mopeds? Heres a Pic Don Took
