About the fishing here
Lake Powell is a vast reservoir on the Colorado River, its blue water winding through red sandstone canyons on the Arizona-Utah border. It holds strong largemouth and smallmouth bass fishing along its endless rocky coves, plus striped bass that school in open water. Houseboats and canyon scenery draw as many visitors as anglers do. Years of drought have pulled the lake's level down substantially, so boat ramps and access points shift from year to year.
The usual catches here are Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass and Striped Bass.
For Smallmouth Bass, the fishing tends to peak around May-Jun, Sep-Oct. The best windows are usually dawn and dusk.
A state fishing license is required to fish here. Napp ranks the species above from the live weather, water temperature, season and time of day, so the order changes through the day.
