Mid lake Lake Powell fishing report rs Wayne Gustaveson, DWR Lake Powell project leader, provides the following report: The lake elevation is 3,602 M.S.L. and the water temperature is 66 - 69 F. Daily feeding habits of the pampered, well-fe- d striped bass in lower Lake Powell goes something like this. At first light in the morning a striper school wanders along the main channel, usually near the mouth of a canyon, seeking a shad snack. Shad have been swimming individually at night and rejoin into schools at mornings first light when they can see each other once more. Stripers cant ignore the and San Juan have shad coming in contact with a shad school. That makes it hard to predict. Boiling action starts at first light and lasts until 9:30 a.m. Stripers are dormant for a while and then start up again sometime between 11-- 2 p.m. Evening boils are not common. Well fed stripers eat nothing but shad. Your lure must resemble a shad to be appealing crowded into the backs of some coves. Stripers and bass are guarding the cove entrance waiting for prey to venture out. Find a shad ball in a shallow cove and fish the mouth with shad imitating lures. Some full canyon boils have happened recently on the San Juan with stripers driving shad from the mouth to the shallows.

The boil is quick as shad flee at the first attack. Stripers dont pursue them far as there are lots of shad and picking is easy. Stripers regroup, look for another school and then attack once more. Boil duration depends on how many shad are grouped. Small shad schools equal small boils. Once full sunlight hits the channel shad schools get larger and boils last longer but are less frequent.

I enjoyed the speed of the speedway bikes, which run on alcohol, with professional riders on the flat track. Kim took first place riding a 1974 Suzuki which belonged to one of the participants. On Saturday, the moto-cros- s brought out a larger crowd of bikers and the side-hacraces were my favorite.

Years ago, it was commonplace when a veteran died that military rites would take place at the cemetery. The commander would give the command for an eight-gu- n salute which was fired over the grave. Then off in a distance, taps would echo, performed by someone off in the cedars. E.P. (Bud) and Barbara Corbin traveled to Yellow Pine, ID, which is near McCall, to check on their cabin. It had been ten years since his last visit and being out in the wilderness, they soon discovered that it had been broken into and ransacked. Bud and Barbara are heading to their winter home in Surprise, Arizona, but plan to be back for Thanksgiving.
