Greetings Wayne, First thanks for your reports they provide solid fishing intel - proof to follow.
Spent last week fishing LP from the dam to West Canyon. Sat 5/25 and 5/26 had one those "great" fishing days at the first point past the double rocks in Navajo Canyon (fish were also on the second point you often mention - but I found them to be a bit larger on the first point). Tried the same spot Tue but nothing - very windy with a frontal passage. Tue thru Fri on a houseboat out of dam area. Wed Gunsight canyon before sun hit the water produced largemouth, smallmouth, and two nice stripers on topwater lures in the back of the canyon along weeds and rubble.
Thursday 5/31 and Friday 6/1 we had the "great" fishing again you referred to last week = 100+ fish.
This came after pretty slow start in Last Chance canyon - but I got a good cell signal on my Blackberry and checked out your recent fish report for that week which told us what to look for in the way of structure. So with this new information we headed back into West Canyon to a slot area and found the mother lode of stripers. The spot consistently produced for the next 48 hours for us. Look about 1.5 miles up the canyon on the left side - there is a large rock out from a steep drop off with a narrow slot between the wall and the rock. The fish were there like cordwood averaging 4-5 lbs in 20 to 45 feet of water. Often with one hooked dozens would follow the hooked one up to the boat looking for a meal.
