Back to Bull Frog
The Bull Frog area is
particularly interesting to Perry because he grew up in Southern Utah in the
small town of Hanksville. Not far from Bull Frog is the Shoot-A-Ring
canyon uranium mines. To the local
uranium
miners the nickname for the mine is
"Shit-er-ma-ring". The Ekker family was a major player in the local mining
community. Prospecting as a child Perry visited many area's, The Rincon,
Hanson Creek, and the Hall Creek Canyon areas. before Lake Powell existed.
Perry worked during the summer months of his high school days as a laborer on
the first buildings and the boat ram at Bull Frog. The Colorado River was
still running at Halls Crossing.
Bull Frog Bay. Halls Crossing in the foreground three miles across the bay. The play and fishing boats can be tied behind the house boat and pulled until you need them. This is call the "Moki Wall" just south of the entrance to Moki Canyon. I've caught more Stripers along this wall than anywhere on the lake. On this particular trip to Powell, Chuck was the captain of the house boat until Jerry drove for a while. Then Jerry was captain. This is just above Moki Canyon headed north toward Good Hope Bay. Main channel at mile buoy 102. Main channel with the Little Rockies of the Henery Mountain range in the back ground. Main channel at mile buoy 101.
