Captain Bill’s Lake Powell Fall 2026 Fishing Outloo
Lake Powell Elevation: 3519 Water Temp: 83 degrees Fall is approaching on Lake Powell, and I’m optimistic about what the 2026 fall fishing season could bring. Right now, we are seeing lots of shad under the night lights, which is a very encouraging sign. We have also experienced a significant striper die-off. My expectation is that this could help produce a healthier population of 2–5 pound-plus stripers this fall, along with some larger “cruiser-class” fish that may hold over and feed on multiple forage Read More +

December 2025 Fishing Report – Capt. Bill McBurney
Lake Powell Elevation: 3542.56 Lake Powell Fly & Conventional Fishing Update Fly fishing and conventional fishing are still going strong at Lake Powell. Water temps are holding in the 60s, keeping the bite zone active. On sunny days, focus on the many islands and sand bars where Stripers and Smallmouth push baitfish up—prime spots to find fish feeding. Your best window has been 10 AM to 3 PM. It’s Clouser time, but honestly, anything will work when the fish are on shad. Watch for birds Read More +

Lake Powell Elevation: 3557.81 Fall Fishing Outlook — Captain Bill’s Update Fall fishing should be excellent this year! We’re now booking trips all the way through January 1, 2026, thanks to continued lower runoff levels. The algae bloom and expected water temps are all tracking back to the lower pool levels we saw three years ago—setting us up for some of the best late-season fishing in recent memory. Each canyon bay will fish differently—some good, some fair, some tough—depending on water temps, sun exposure, and wind Read More +

Lake Powell Elevation: 3558.98 feet Smallmouth and largemouth bass have slided deeper and we are still catching the 1-2 lb. smallmouth in 10-30′ of water trolling and tubing as well.
