Where to bass fish? Not that hard. Around any irregular, broken shoreline! be because lew anglers with any sanity try to get around the lake in inclement weather. Late spring with shadows'seem a terrific combination. Bass are in shallow water spawning, with the males likely to hit anything which might bother the eggs. It is not all that altruistic, however, since Father eats those eggs when they hatch. The nest feet of water, will likely be in bluegills were worth it on a fly rod, any small pattern acceptable. I might add this about storms and bass: a cold one usually puts the fish down. If it is mostly wind without a plummeting drop in temperatures, it appears the surface churning does not hurt a thing. Storms get vicious on Powell, and I've had my best luck here on calm days.

Powell warmer than others, is especially fast bass fishing right now. Some anglers are also taking smallmouth bass along the border in Flaming Gorge. It is nothing new that they are there, but few had shown until lately with any regularity. Try the rocky coves near shore along the Pipeline, and also southward near Kingfisher Island. My best bass have been taken at Pelican, although this is admittedly a hot and cold lake.
